Torn Fields – war poets 1914-1918 The OUCS Secondlife island is currently host to an immersive learning environment modelled to simulate areas of the Western Front 1914-18. Into this environment a range of digitised archival materials from the major poets of the First World War.  Visitors to the model are given a unique immersive experience where they can explore a training camp, dressing station, a trench network and No Man’s Land. The terrain is waterlogged and difficult to navigate, rife with rats and littered with poppies. Moving nearer to the front line the clamor of shell blasts and artillery fire becomes louder and louder.
