Situated within broader ideological and educational disputes over school history, Foster examines salient issues related to teaching and commemorating the First World War in England. Specifically, the chapter outlines how the government’s national flagship First World Centenary Battlefield Tours Programme was underpinned by three broad principles. First, it encouraged an inquiry-based approach to school history. Second, it invited students both to recognize and to critically appreciate different historical interpretations of the war. Third, it demanded that historical sites and associated representations were evaluated in critical and engaging ways. The chapter also explores how the program was developed to help teachers respond to postmodernist critiques and to ongoing tensions between those who advocate a fixed national narrative and those who view history as a disciplinary endeavor.
