FD Lucas Summer History Projects 2014

The annual FD Lucas History Projects have turned up another eclectic and wide-reaching number of titles.  From Stonehenge and castles, to the history of Mustique and the World Wars, the list is detailed below. The topic choices never cease to amaze me and I have been mightily impressed by the investigative nature of many of them. It is not an easy undertaking to try and convey to others why a particular topic has caught your interest and to do so in a detailed and in-depth manner, especially against the backdrop of the long summer holidays. I commend all the boys for their efforts.
