They will walk past huge video screens, where large-as-life soldiers tell their stories (the figures are actors, but their words are genuine).
Then they come to the dark heart of the Centre: a 360-degree immersive cinema that over 12 minutes tells the story of the battles of Villers-Bretonneux and Le Hamel.
Screens and speakers positioned in front, above and behind the visitors play re-enacted scenes with Hollywood-level production values (Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson lent his advice and collection of working First World War planes, tanks and artillery for the filming, which was done in New Zealand and Australia).
At the height of the battle, smoke billows out into the room. Spotlights recreate the deadly aim of machine-guns, and bright lights flash with the detonation of grenades.
