Welcome to ‘Keep the Memories Alive’ a unique initiative launched by Leger Holidays to ensure that personal memories from the Second World War are never lost or forgotten.

Keep the Memories Alive 2010 – Test The Nation Free Survey

How much do you really know about World War history?

Leger Holidays - the UKs leading provider of escorted Battlefield tours - is putting adults’ World War knowledge under the spotlight with the launch of a new online survey.

Last year, research conducted by Leger with 1,000 under 16 year olds identified startling gaps in kids’ knowledge about World War history and their own family history. This sparked a drive by Leger Holidays to ensure that these important memories and historic knowledge are not forgotten through a campaign to ‘Keep the Memories Alive’.

This year Leger is continuing with the drive to ensure memories are being maintained and is asking whether adults are as well-informed as they think. They are asking adults to take part in a new online survey and kids are also being encouraged to test their parents’ knowledge.

Complete the questions below and answer 10 short multiple choice questions to test your knowledge. Submissions are anonymous, so please do not Google to find the correct answers - the aim of this quiz is to find out what people really know and to get a realistic representation of adults’ knowledge.

Correct answers will be published on the site in time for 11th November so you can come back and check how you did!

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.

The survey questions have been developed in collaboration with Specialist Battlefields guide and Military Historian, Paul Reed.

Paul has an MA in history and over 25 years’ experience as a military history researcher, lecturer and battlefields guide. He lived on the Somme for ten years, and regularly works with WW2 veteran groups in Britain and overseas.

He is the author of six definitive books on WWI and has worked as a consultant for and appeared in BBC history programmes such as ‘Meet the Ancestors’, ‘My Family at War’, ‘Timewatch’ and ‘Dig 1940’. He is also currently researching a series of books about WWII.

As part of the campaign Leger Holidays will also be visiting schools throughout the UK with local veteran groups to give kids the chance to hear first hand memories and see memorabilia about this important period of history.

The campaign also continues to encourage people to speak to their own family about the First and Second World War and send a memory to leger@lucre.co.uk.
