Trench life took some getting used to. Join the officer (costumed interpreter) of a trench section who will guide you though how the system worked and daily routines. What a soldier wore and why, equipment and weapons, food and all the necessary paraphernalia to make it as comfortable as possible. No slides, real objects and an enthusiastic expert.

Guarderobe offer professional Historical talks in costume with (sometimes original) replica objects from prehistory, Early Roman, Late Roman, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Anglo Saxon, Vikings, Normans, early Medieval, 15th century, Tudors, The Gun Powder Treason, English Civil War, Victorian Surgeon, Victorian Life, WW1 In the Trenches, WW1 Home Front, and several WW2 topics including RAF, Army (Early War, D-Day, Far East) and Civil Defence. We do not use slides but do need some tables and an audience.
We are both archaeologists and have worked in museums and in the field for many years so bring much experience, knowledge and some humour to topics. We have been giving talks for over 30 years in the Midlands.
