Students sign there enrolment papers and visit our recruitment station where they are measured up for uniforms and checked to make sure they are fit to serve.
(This unit looks at the reasons why war broke out and the propaganda drove the enrolment process.)

2 Marching, fitness and equipment
The group is divided into three groups and drilled in marching to ensure instructions are followed. Fitness like splat the rat will hone the reflexes and then the students go through the kit list of the British Tommy.
(This unit gets the students moving by creating activities that improve general fitness and team building skills by using activities linked to trench life.)
