All of the details they will need can be found on The Birth of the Battalions page of our WWI virtual exhibition. A PowerPoint presentation is also available here if you prefer that option. See student guide for the questions.
This activity can now be filled out directly on your computers – no need to print! To use the fillable function, be sure to download the PDF.
