World War I Downloadable Resources | Bentley Priory Museum

These resources are available free to download and support classroom learning on the subject of World War I. These resources were inspired by our exhibition, “Dowding and WWI: The Making of a Commander” which explored the World War I experiences of Royal Flying Corps (RFC) pilot Hugh Dowding, who later became Commander-in-Chief of RAF Fighter Command at Bentley Priory during the Battle of Britain.

This exhibition and accompanying activities were made possible by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
