THE horror that was the First World War is being brought back to life in North Yorkshire.
The award-winning Eden Camp wartime theme museum, at Old Malton, has concentrated its displays on the Second World War. However, one of the huts in the former prisoner-of-war camp is being transformed for a detailed look at the war it was thought would end all wars.
Construction work is under way on a full-size section of a Great War trench, and a wealth of memorabilia, old newspapers, medals and artefacts are being used to tell the story.
If all goes well, the new section should be open in time for the museum's annual veterans' day, on September 9.
"We are not just looking at the war itself, but its social history and impact at home in Britain," said museum director Steve Jaques.
"We believe this really will be a worthy addition to the museum."
