BU Research Blog

To commemorate the 100^th Anniversary of Britain joining the First World War, BU will be posting images and news pieces, and tweeting throughout the day. We’ll also be posting four specially commissioned pieces for TalkBU written by BU academics, to get people thinking about the impact of The Great War.

You can read them here:
