That They May Have Life – The First World War and the University of Leicester
A lecture dedicated to the founding of the University will form part of Leicester Cathedral's events marking the centenary of Armistice Day.
Research Associate and PhD Student Elizabeth Blood will explore how the First World War led to the creation and founding of the University.
Elizabeth was the first War Memorials Officer employed by a local authority in the UK, and ran a project on Leicestershire’s memorials for over 7 years. She has also worked as a War Memorials Listing adviser for Historic England, as Head of Heritage and Learning at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
The lecture takes place on Monday 29 October at 6:30pm in Leicester Cathedral and all are welcome to attend. Find out more here.
