About this listen
IWM was founded on 5th March 1917 when the War Cabinet approved a proposal by Sir Alfred Mond MP for the creation of a national war museum to record the events still taking place during the First World War.
The intention was to collect and display material as a record of everyone's experiences during the war - civilian and military - and to commemorate the sacrifices of all sections of society. The First World War Retold tells the story of that war from a fresh perspective from IWM's unparalleled collections. It presents events as they happened, through quotations from diaries, letters or reported conversations written or spoken within hours, days or weeks of the events they describe.
Through these voices and objects - emotive, immediate, and sometimes surprising - the story of the war is retold from a compelling new angle, allowing us to both understand and reflect upon the landmark conflict that still shapes our lives today.

Banal
There are so many better narratives of World War 1. A poor reflection of the worth of the museum or the bravery of many. Why is the Duke of Cambridge recruited to provide an introduction with an accolade to the dubious role of his grandfather?
To whom may this be useful and for whom insightful? Can’t imagine.
But Audible has many better books on WW1.
