The [type of student. Eg. Year Nine History] students have been learning about this topic using teaching resources produced by the ̨uuֱ. Participants have been exploring the work volunteers did during the 1914-18 conflict and the humanity they showed. The lifesaving work the volunteers of the ̨uuֱ did remains as relevant today as it was in 1918 and more volunteers are needed. In 2017, the organisation had one of the most demanding years in its history as it offered humanitarian support following major emergencies including the Manchester Arena bombing, the Westminster Bridge and London Bridge terror attacks and the Grenfell Tower fire. The Red Cross First World War teaching materials examine the power of volunteering, protection in war and humanity in action and pupils can think about how they apply this learning to their own lives. The organisation is this year taking the opportunity to mark the role played by women during the conflict as it commemorates the centenary of the end of the First World War. Educational materials include discussion of the 90,000 people, mostly women, who offered their time as Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) in auxiliary hospitals at home and overseas during the war. [Participating student name here. Type of student. Eg. Year Nine History student] said: [Insert quote about what they learned from the resource here]. Students learned about ordinary individuals who gave extraordinary service and discussed what drove people to volunteer and how it affected their lives and roles after the war. Two well-known women volunteers were author Agatha Christie and campaigner Vera Brittain. Crime novelist Christie is understood to have gained the knowledge of poisons she later used so effectively in her detective fiction while working in a dispensary as a VAD. Brittains First World War memoir A Testament of Youth is a vivid account of her time working as a VAD nursing injured soldiers at home and in France. As well as exploring the historical role of VADs, the teaching resources look at the ways in which present-day civilians, the sick and wounded, prisoners of war, medical professionals and journalists are protected during conflict and how these protections have developed since the war. It further explores how the Red Cross supported the families of missing and wounded military personnel and refugees throughout the First World War. Students learning about the First World War and the role of women during the conflict were encouraged to use the ̨uuֱ online database of VAD records to research individuals and their work. Anyone can use the database to research the roles their ancestors may have played during the conflict at  HYPERLINK "http://www.vad.redcross.org.uk/" www.vad.redcross.org.uk [Your school teacher/spokesperson here] said: [Add teacher comments here]. ̨uuֱ heritage manager Dr Alasdair Brooks said: We are delighted that the students at [school name here] enjoyed learning about the dedicated and compassionate work done by volunteers during the First World War. It is important that, as we commemorate the centenary of the end of the conflict this year, young people understand the value of volunteering and the humanity shown by the 90,000 people, mostly women, in caring for the wounded and sick and supporting the families of the missing and refugees across Europe. Volunteering remains central to the work of the ̨uuֱ and we hope these teaching resources will have helped to inspire a new generation of volunteers.
