First World War Centenary: ITV Anglia schools project
To mark 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War in the summer of 1914, ITV News Anglia asked the region’s schools and school children to share community stories.
First World War Centenary: A Great War story from Mersea Island School in Essex
Earlier this year, ITV News Anglia launched its First World War Centenary School Report and asked children from across the region to tell us a Great War story from their area.
In our latest school report, pupils from Mersea Island School in Essex tell us about pilot Edgar and his best friend Mick who liked to travel everywhere together.
The tale has now been made into a book which is being used to help school children learn about the first world war.
