Abstract
This article reflects upon a Heritage Lottery–funded project devised by Britain’s leading practitioner of reminiscence arts, Age Exchange. ‘‘Meeting in No Man’s Land’’ explored the different family legacies of the First World War by bringing together the British and German descendants of its veterans. The project process had many similarities to the practice of oral history, but there were also significant differences. This article considers the shared territory of the two methodologies while at the same time acknowledging the uniqueness of Age Exchange’s approach to the making of histories.
