This Happens In War Touring Exhibition From mid October 2010 This Happens in War has contributed to Remembering Scotland At War, a pioneering online museum with a social networking area particularly aimed at ‘capturing memories’ which has been developed by Museums Galleries Scotland. It showcases and encourages personal accounts from civilians, younger and older veterans, and currently serving military of how conflict has affected them. Through the exhibition entitled, This Happens In War, The Museum of The Black Watch has collaborated with the YMCA Perth to gather and record personal emotive and humbling memories from members of the famous 51st Highland Division, the Wrens and National Serviceman. It has also worked with Atholl Country Life Museum and the St Andrews Preservation Trust to find stories, photographs and artefacts from the War on the Home Front. The development of This Happens In War included intergenerational work which has been inspirational to younger people and created a greater understanding of the impact that war can have. This Happens In War covers conflicts from the Second World War to the Korean War and the Kenyan insurgency. Featuring a number of topics from the War at Home, Conscription and National Service to war zones in North Africa, France, Germany, and more recently, Korea and Kenya, these are brought to life through the life stories and memories of veterans from Fife, Perthshire and Angus. |
