taking our culture forward

A series of six short films telling stories of the First World War from a Manx perspective.

This series of films were created from some of the stories which feature in the First World War exhibition recently opened at the Manx Aviation and Military Museum near Ronaldsway. The stories of the films are presented by the director of the Museum, Ivor Ramsden.

More about the exhibition and the museum, including opening times, can be found on the MAPS website.
