Free FreeOur collection of First World War records is one of the largestin the world. It includes, amongst many other documents, service records, letters, diaries, maps and photographs.
During the centenary we are opening up this collection and hosting a variety of events and exhibitions engaging in key debates and topics from the war.
Part of Britain's folk memory of the First World War is of long lines of Tommies bravely going over the top, resolutely kicking and passing a football as they walked into a hail of machine gun fire.
Iain Adams of the International Football Institute, a research partnership between the University of Central Lancashire and the National Football Museum, looks at what actually happened when the London Irish Rifles performed the first football charge at the Battle of Loos on 25 September 1915.
