We're pleased to announce the launch of a new website developed by Gateshead CLC and Maad on behalf of Tyne and Wear Archives Service.
Lice Hunter is an exploration of the work of Captain Peacock, a Newcastle born doctor whose task in World War I was to investigate/eradicate the problem of lice infestation amongst the soldiers in the trenches.
Hmm...tasty stuff, creepy crawlies...
Take a look and find out more about this yukky job.
The site has Flash based talking head content and a fab "Find the Lice" game.
Enjoy!
