During this workshop, a member of the Sir John Monash Centre team encourages families to experience Private Valentine Rochfort’s experience on the Western Front by inviting them to examine, handle and carry certain items from his personal suitcase. This workshop will give children a better understanding of Valentine’s life on the Western Front and the living conditions of soldiers in the trenches so far from Australia.
