UK Armenians & WW1 project

UK Armenians and WW1 was a 2- year project funded by Heritage Lottery Fund, aiming to create an audio-visual archive of the experiences of the Armenian community in the UK during WW1. A number of interviews were conducted with our project contributors, sharing their family stories. Testimonies of War, a short documentary by Athena Mandis, is based on these interviews. There was further research done into the Armenian soldiers, doctors, refugees and other community members which has become a basis for an exhibition.

We’d like to thank everyone who contributed their time, family stories, knowledge and skills in order to record, preserve and document their memories and research for the generations.
