Communicating in Wartime

Have you ever noticed or wondered about the coded message in the walls of the Shrine's courtyard? Did you even realise they were coded messages? Have you ever tried to work it out? Now is the time to discover the methods used by service people, soldiers and military people who used to communicate with each other, with their headquarters and family at home, both openly and in secret.

Come along and learn the fascinating ways of how they kept in touch with their families and how news from home reached them even when they were worlds apart. Children will be given the opportunity to create a mysterious message of their own, just like they used to before the internet.
