ANZAC DAY 2015
« on: Monday 24 November 14 13:21 GMT (UK) »
With the 100 years approaching since the Gallipoli Landings, some people might be interested in a free online course run by FutureLearning. It is called World War 1: A History in 100 Stories.

https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/ww1-stories

I've now done 3 courses run by Futurelearn and found them interesting and have learnt a lot. You can do as much or as little as you like and spread them out, there is no time limit and no rush to complete them within the given time.

Hope you enjoy it Nettie. I've signed up as well, as I thought it would be good to look at the War from another perspective rather than from the usual view of the British soldiers in Europe.
