Faces Of The First World War Imperial War Museum Project

Faces Of The First World War Imperial War Museum Project | Londonist

A collection of photos of service members at the Imperial War Museum.

One hundred previously unseen photos of those who served and died in the First World War have been uploaded to Flickr for Armistice Day by the Imperial War Museum.
The Museum was set up in the final months of the Great War, to record the conflict and,

to collect and display material as a record of everyone’s experiences during that war – civilian and military – and to commemorate the sacrifices of all sections of society.

In 1917, thousands of bereaved families sent in portraits of men who served in the war – sometimes their only photograph. These were amongst the first items collected by IWM and it’s a fascinating and poignant collection. As part of the build up to the museum’s First World War Centenary Programme, more Faces of the First World War will be uploaded every weekday until August 2014.
