Demo At Imperial War Museum. The Imperial War Museum will be opening its new World War One exhibition on Saturday 19 July. The IWM was set up in 1917 by the very same generals and politicians who helped start the global conflagration. By autumn 1918, many German soldiers became so disillusioned with the war that they refused to fight. Earlier, there had been similar rebellions in the Russian and French armies. And, by 1919, there were even mutinies in the British Army. Hopefully the IWM exhibition will cover these inspiring events in detail.
A Wreath will be laid in the Peace Garden, St. John’s Garden, behind St, George’s Hall with music and poetry Further details nearer the time. If you’d like to take part in shadow painting the night before contact Gina through the Merseyside CND Office.
