The document provides information about an upcoming exhibition at the Fusilier Museum London titled "Voices from the Front, a Personal Account of the Great War". The exhibition shares the experiences of World War 1 soldiers through diaries in the museum's collection. It focuses on the challenges of daily life like food, transport, living conditions, and camaraderie as depicted in the soldiers' diaries rather than deeply exploring the tragic aspects of war. Associated events include an exhibition opening performance and dance workshop.

Over the last six months volunteers from the local community have
been working with The Fusilier Museum London researching the
World War One diaries in the museum’s collection. This exhibition
shares the experiences of the soldiers in their own words.
You may wonder why the themes in the exhibition do not delve
particularly deeply into the more difficult and tragic aspects of
fighting a war. This is because the group allowed the soldier’s
diaries to dictate the topics. What came through strongly were the
challenges of day to day living; the food, the transport, the
conditions and the camaraderie. Tough times are of course
mentioned but the diaries tended to allude to, rather than
discussed in detail, these more difficult experiences. Hence what
you will read here today will provide a glimpse into the day to day
life of a soldier during the years 1914 -1918.
Please have a look around, we hope you
enjoy the exhibition
