A Railway at War

A brand new exhibition at STEAM to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War

 

STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway

22 August 2014 - 31 December 2015

 

In this centenary year the Museum looks at the role the GWR took in World War One. From munitions work, to specialist carriages, the GWR built a multitude of items for the war effort. The exhibition also looks at how GWR employees were affected by war, not only the men who went to fight, but also the men and women who were left behind and continued to be employed by the company in many different roles. A range of never seen before material and objects will be on display.
