Students learnt about the Medical treatment of soldiers on the Western Front to support their GCSE History course.   A highlight of the visit was the ceremony at the Menin Gate.   Three of our students were able to be part of the procession in the ceremony and lay a wreath.   This was particularly poignant as both Mr Tkaczuk and one of the students have the names of their ancestors on the memorial and one student is related to the longest surviving Irish veteran from World War One.  We found the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 very interesting and our students had the opportunity to re-enact the work of stretcher bearers and dress up as a World War I soldier.    Throughout the trip the History staff were impressed with the students' attitude and exemplary behaviour.  They were  respectful and they made the most of the visit - whether it be exploring the battlefields or the chocolate shops.   A huge thank you to the students for being such a pleasure to work with,  to Mr Rider and Mr Tkaczuk for organising such a successful visit and also to Dr Taylor for her involvement.
