Turnbull Exhibition Of World War One
On the 21st of October 2014 we went to the National Library. There was an art exhibition about world war one. We saw lots of diaries of the soldiers that had really annoying handwriting to read. Another thing that we saw was some sketches of old fashioned grenades that were really powerful. There was this pen and seal that was in a glass container that they had used to write down that world war one was finished.That pen and seal in the glass container was borrowed from parliament.
We also saw a painting of the Gallipoli war they would dig holes into the sand bank and sleep in the holes with their legs sticking out. I forgot to tell you but when our class first walked into the exhibition there was a whole wall filled with words that the soldiers had written in their diaries. They had heard the gun noises in world war one for example BOOM!, POW!, WOOSH!, CABOO! And PEE UUUUU CRACK! They also had drawings that they drew of guns and all sorts and bombs. It was sad though because there was a picture of a soldier that had lost one of his eyes and it was bleeding really bad. We thought it was fascinating but sad in the same way.
