Description: | The National War Museum Store at Hesdin, September 1917.
Throughout the latter stages of the First World War, there was a small team of staff attached to General Headquarters on the Western Front tasked with gathering material for the museum's collections. The museum's name was changed in November 1917 at the request of the India and Dominions Sub-Committee, who wanted a name that ensured 'India and the Dominions would feel that their part in the War would be permanently commemorated in the centre of the Empire.'
