I haven't had a chance yet to explore the War Poets Exhibition in Second Life, an extremely ambitious Oxford project that presents World War I poetry contextualized in an immersive simulation of WWI battlegrounds. However, the agile Emily Orr has, and after taking care of some personal business, has an observant review of the experience here: "The aid station was stark, terrifying. Bodies laid out as best they could, desperate conditions, too few nurses and too many wounded men, as happens in any war, all wars." More here.

Hi, thanks for the write-up. If you do decide to visit the sim I'd be happy to show you around. Csteph Submariner in-world.

It's truly one of the best historical exhibits I've visited in SL. More educational efforts need to consider partially or fully immersive experiences.
