World War One
Nowhere else in the British Isles has such a rich heritage and so many unique locations for you to visit as part of the national commemoration taking place over the next few years. For example, there is the principal German Military Cemetery in the country, with only a few very small ones elsewhere.
Close by it lie the remains of two great camps where over 500,000 men trained, including many Commonwealth troops, especially those from New Zealand.
There are replica trench systems to explore at the Staffordshire Regiment Museum near Lichfield and the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, a few miles north of that city.
The county’s central location is well served by road, rail and air and these will be key sites for thousands of visitors. Discovery Trails is producing a special guide to help you make the most of such a visit. Please check this site regularly for availability.
