Tim Revett

Tim Revett BA accompanied a group of students from the Nuevo Horizonte School in Lambare, Paraguay, in July 2014 for a research trip to the city of Piribebuy, the site of the largest urban battle of the Triple Alliance War (1864–71), fought between Paraguay and the allied countries of 
Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Upon his return, he wrote, “The poor state of the museum and the advanced age of those who retain the oral tradition present the need for the younger generations to take ownership of the story of the Battle of Piribebuy. I think the students were awakened to the atrocities committed in the aftermath of that battle, and I know some are working on papers and maybe even a documentary about the battle and their trip. It’s cool to see that ‘lightbulb’ appear above students’ heads, especially when it’s related to history.”
