People's Palace and Winter Gardens, 30 May–23 November 2014
Artist Fred A. Farrell received an extraordinary commission from the Corporation of Glasgow to produce 50 drawings of the Front Line and munitions factories in Glasgow. These powerful and moving sketches and watercolours recorded the war for posterity – Glasgow was one of the first cities to recognize the importance of creating such a memorial.
