Wilfred Owen wrote many moving letters to his mother during his service in World War One, and in them he describes his devastating experience of life on the Western Front. He also transformed this experience into remarkable poetry, which has spoken to audiences ever since. After heroic service as a second lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment, he was killed only a week before Armistice Day.

Their words offer an \ninsight into the noise, terror, friendship and loss witnessed by many. \n\nHere, actors give voice to the diaries, letters and memories of some of those \nwho fought in the trenches of France."

"Examine the war diaries of the 92nd Infantry Brigade, including the 10th East \nYorkshire Regiment, the Hull Commercials, featured in the series 'The \nTrench'.\n\nDiaries can help to build a daily picture of war service. The content of \nthese diaries varies, but they often mention the battles in which the men were \nengaged as well as the more mundane duties required of a unit in the field. It \nis possible to identify precisely where a unit was at any given time during the \nwar and what happened to it. Original war diaries can be found at the Public \nRecord Office."

In 2005, only a handful of men survive from the 5.5 million-strong army that fought for Britain in World War One. It was the largest army this country has ever put into the field\n\nHere, six of the remaining veterans tell their story for the last time. They reveal a fascinating glimpse into the life of the soldier of the Western Front, in the bitter and brutal world of the front line. Sadly some of these survivors - all over one hundred years old - have since passed on, but the story of their generation's sacrifice will endure forever.\n
