Please note, this session has been recorded from a live course and is available to watch flexibly in your own time up to 11:59pm on 17th December. 

Some clergymen made quite a name for themselves in the Great War – whether that was “Woodbine Willie” handing out cigarettes while he ministered to the troops in the trenches, “Tubby Clayton” of Toc-H offering respite to troops in and behind the front lines, or the firebrand Bishop Winnington-Ingram preaching sermons to the populace back home.  But what was it really like to practice as a cleric during this unimaginable time – we talk a lot about the fate of the fighting soldiers, but a little less about how men of the cloth had to change and adapt to the horrors of war.  Drawing on first-hand accounts, and timed to coincide with “remembrance-tide”, this talk will explore the role of chaplains on the battlefields of WW1.
