Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The sound of the Last Post forever plays each night as the sun goes down over a French field, paid for by a man who lost his son to a futile, inexcusable war and who signed a parchment called Common Form there by exonerating the Army and The Government for any injuries or deaths that might occur to those too young or seen to be too disabled once they got to the trenches.
Liverpool’s St George’s Hall is set to present a week-long series of tours giving visitors a powerful and emotional flashback experience of The Great War. From Monday 10th to Sunday 16th March local historian Frank Carlyle will guide visitors through the depths of the Hall telling Liverpool stories of the First World War. From the triumphant passionate start to the realities of war, blasting away romantic notions as the horrors of modern conflict came to the forefront. The historical talks will be interlinked with promenade performances by some of Liverpool’s best-loved actors.
