The Western Front Association was formed with the aim of furthering interest in the period 1914-1918, to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of all those who served their countries in France and Flanders and their own countries during The Great War. It does not seek to justify or glorify war. It is not a re-enactment society, nor is it commercially motivated. It is entirely non-political. The object of The Association is to educate the public in the history of The Great War with particular reference to the Western Front. Applications for membership are welcomed from anyone with a like mind.

The WFA studies all aspects of the Great War from the major battles on the Western Front which include Mons, Ypres, the Marne, the Somme, Passchendaele, Arras, Amien, Le Cateau, the Aisne, Champagne, Neuve Chapelle, Loos, Cambrai, the Chemin des Dames, Messines, the Meuse and the Argonne. We also look at Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, Palestine, the Balkans and Salonkia and the Eastern Front battles such as Tannenburg, the Masurian Lakes and the Gorlice - Tarnow Offensive. In addition naval battles like Jutland, Coronel, the Heligoland Bite and the Falklands are covered, as is the war in the air looking at the Royal Flying Corps and German Luftwaffe and aircraft such as the Sopwith Camel. In addition we look and the Generals and Political Leaders, these include Franz Ferdinand, Haig, French, Joffre, Pershing, Jellicoe, Petain, Lloyd George, Hindenburg, Ludendorff and von Schlieffen, plus many other areas of the WW1 conflict, which can be refered to as WWI, or World War One. We also look at Cemeteries, Memorials, Trenches, Medals such as the Victoria Cross, Weapons and Trench Maps.
