On the 23rd of January 2018 Mr Neicho came into p7 to talk about the war as our topic is world war 2, he also brought in some of his families artefacts with him. He told us where all of these medals came from and what they were for.

The one on the left is called 39-49 star, the second from the left is called Burma star, the third one from the left is called Defence medal, the fourth one from the left is called War medal 1939-45, the second one to the right is called the Long service medal and the one on the right is called Meritorious medal.

He was also telling us a lot about the different battles that were fought. One of the battles he told us about was the Battle of the Bulge.

Some of the other things that he brought in included a persons ID card, a picture of one of his relations with other soldiers and some books.

In class we have been doing war timelines so Mr Neicho’s visit was very helpful as he was able to tell us lots of facts about what happened in the years we were writing about. It was also very interesting. We really enjoyed his talk and hope he will visit again during our topic.
