The challenge of commemorating small wars: Developing an oral history archive of family responses to British military death after 1945
This powerful oral history and photography project, led by the National Army Museum in collaboration with Keele University, explored how families commemorate British military deaths since 1945. Through interviews and personal memorial photography, the project is building a unique archive that sheds light on the emotional and social impacts of military loss. The work is already influencing museum practice and academic research, with plans for future exhibitions and funding applications to expand its reach and impact.
