To mark theis notable anniversary Kentwell Hall held a recreation of "The Eve of War" the weekend before.
Most well known for their Tudor recreations, the Hall is steeped in history from Tudor times to modern day.
So, on the Sunday, we took our grandson Josh so see this living history.
The recruitment tent was kept busy for most of the day. they were fairly lenient with the age for recruitment, and said that they could have taken our 9 year old grandson Josh :-)
But it was soon time for a tea break
Some of the gentry played ball games on the lawn
Whilst some of the locals tried to "object" to the army officer
But amidst all of this, the post mistress still had to sort and deliver her mail.
And so the glorious day came to an end, we had all leant a small something of that time, and the sacrifice that had been made.
If you ever stop on a cruise across the sea, and you like your history, then a visit to Tyne Cot Cemetery comes highly recommended
