Keepsakes and Courage: exploring gifts and post sent and received in WW1
What’s The Story is a brand new podcast produced and presented by The Story’s team of young Volunteers. The team will explore the history of Durham from ghosts to gifts, mining to mysteries and much more.
In our first episode we find out about gifts and letters that were sent and received in WW1, most notably Princess Mary tins and embroidered postcards. The team also delve deep into a collection of love letters held in The Story’s archive, we hear excerpts from the letters, quotes from Princess Mary and we play a game of Tank or No Tank.
