Task Two.
You are going to create a bar chart showing the men mobilised
and killed for each country. Follow the instructions.
Task Three.

Now you are going to study the casualties from a different

perspective.

Answer the questions.

1. How many hits did you get?
I got 755 hits

2. How did you feel when you were reading the information
about the people who died?
I felt sad because it is terrible what happened to these
people in the war.

3. Pick one solider and look carefully at the information

about him. Make a note of who he left behind and any
other interesting information.
Daughter of Mrs. Bryan, of 28 Palm Street, Roman Road, and of
the late Thomas Edward Bryan. Died at 46 Lessada Street

It is interesting to see because you can see his loved ones

and I couldnt imagine what they went through when they
found out that their 14 year old son died.
Task 4.

So we divided everyone in groups. We divided them in the age

and from which country they were from. But I think that we
are all equal. It shouldnt matter which background you have,
but if you fought, you fought, and you earned respect from
people. I didnt know much about the first world war. I knew
most about the second one because it is more famous. I
thought it would have been really bad but I didnt realise it was
this horrible. I cant imagine what everyone was going through
back then.
