Please note that the newly formed Somme Branch of the Western Front Association are holding a meeting at 1930 hrs on 10 April in the Somme Trench Museum in Albert. Battlefield guide Clive Harris will be speaking on subject close to his heart, ‘Sporting Icons of the Great War’.
The Somme branch has kindly agreed to donate all proceeds from the raffle funds to the La Boisselle Study Group. One of the raffle prizes is a signed copy of Arras – The Spring 1917 Offensive in Panoramas including Vimy Ridge and Bullecourt by Peter Barton & Jeremy Banning.
At present there are around sixty people who have signed up to attend. However, the branch would welcome more guests. If you are visiting the Glory Hole on 10 April then please consider dropping into the museum for this talk. The museum’s website is http://www.somme-trench-museum.co.uk/ and a map of Albert can be found here: http://www.ville-albert.fr/fr/files/plan%20albert-OK.jpg.
