World War I was the war that began to unite our country.

It gave our citizens a sense of unity and helped to form our sense of nationality. The soldiers in the trenches faced many horrific battles combined with heavy casualties. Life for the enlisted was not full of the fame and glory that they had dreamed war would bring them.

On November 10, 2009 the Chatham-Kent Museum will be presenting WWI Soldier Comes Alive.

The main source of this monologue’s hard hitting script is from the reminiscences of a ninety-two year old veteran. It does not deal with the political causes of the war or the strategy of battles, but with the horrific reality of day to day life as it was in the trenches. This show will be performed in the intimate setting of Studio One. Seating is limited.

The 10 a.m. show is already sold out, but the noon show has seats available. Tickets are $5 for students and adults are $10. Tickets may be purchased at the Cultural Centre Box Office, 75 William Street North, by calling 519.354.8338 or at www.cktickets.com.
