Overview
The last hundred years have seen the lives of children profoundly
affected by two world wars and numerous other civil conflicts and
unrest, right up to the present day. Children’s lives have
been changed for the better and the worse, in unexpected and
unpredictable ways. This study day will examine the impact of war
on children from boy soldiers and innocent victims to evacuees
and asylum seekers. The day ties in with The Soldiers of
Oxfordshire's ‘Children and War’ exhibition at The
Oxfordshire Museum, Woodstock until June 2013). See www.sofo.org.uk for more details of
the exhibition and on-line materials.
