It's now more than 90 years since the end of "the war to end all wars". For much of the four years of this grim conflict the soldiers from both sides slugged out a muddy war of attrition in water and rat filled trenches. The diaorama base here is a model replica of a typical trench layout found on the Western Front. The stalemate was eventually broken by not only the courage of these soldiers, but also by the use of the new mechanised weapon - the tank.
