The @MASWWI Archives might be a good place to begin thinking about the kind of work associated with CBAs in the #JCHistory classroom. The project is in the process of extending into War of Independence, Irish Civil War and Easter Rising buff.ly/2VJDuh6 #edchatie #history

What was it like going over the top in WW1? Edward Glendinning gives a harrowing account of his experience.
