Visitors to the Museum are also invited to explore The World Remembers kiosk located in the Museum’s Military History Research Centre. The interactive, touchscreen kiosk allows visitors to read short First World War histories of each participating nation and to explore a gallery of more than 900 photos of soldiers, nurses, the wounded, refugees, war labourers, war mothers, and prisoners submitted by participating nations. Visitors can also search the names of almost 5 million people featured, with each name accompanied by details of the casualty’s life.

The kiosk also allows visitors to view a 15-minute segment of The World Remembers commemoration names-display for the names they search.
