Sergeant Parsons presented “Mud Blood and Thuds” at Woodend in Scarborough on Friday 19 August
The one hour long presentation led the audience through trench routine on the Western Front in 1916, then went on to look at casualty treatment and the cause of the majority of injured; Artillery!
The presentations were all delivered in the beautiful surroundings of Woodend that has a unique and fascinating history. The original site comprises a Grade ll* listed house, built in 1835 for a civil engineer called George Knowles. The house overlooks the English Heritage-registered Valley Gardens below, and onwards to the sea, in Scarborough’s beautiful South Bay.
The presentation saw its finale with the use of two children who volunteered to conduct a casualty evacuation demonstration.
