Town/City: 
BRISTOL.

World War One is often characterised in the popular memory through the narrative of trench warfare on the Western Front. However, it was a global war fought by imperialist powers, ranging from Africa and the Middle East to the South Pacific. In this event Bristol's cultural links to WW1 are explored through the eyes of asylum seekers and refugees which defy the official narrative and glorification of ‘The Great War’. This is part of a programme of events being put on over the next three
weeks by Remembering The Real World War 1.
