Massive thanks to all who helped & took part last weekend. An amazing gathering of artists, activists, performers ...
Here's a picture from the closing session. Cyril Pearce looking amazed (in a good way) with Corinne Painter and Martin Crick after the final conchies session.

It’s shocking how so many facts about WWI are not better known. Great @FWWCCC2019 Festival this weekend uncovering these lesser known stories.

Really enjoyed our session on women’s war resistance with Ali Ronan and Lucienne Boyce. Learned about some fabulous and largely forgotten women like Phyllis Skinner (Manchester) and Lily Girdlestone (Bristol)
