Redipuglia Italian 3rd Army Memorial

This talk is about the largest war memorial in Italy and one of the largest in the world, housing the remains of 100,187 Italian soldiers killed between 1915 and 1917 in the battles fought on the Karst and Isonzo Front.

James regularly visits the area and has family there. One of his relatives served in the Austrian forces in the First World War.

We meet from 7:30pm, for an 8pm start, in the Poppy Lounge, upstairs at the Royal British Legion at Hornchurch. We request an entrance donation of £3.50 and we have access to the RBL bar.

There is parking nearby, in Fentiman Way, which is 24-hour pay and display. No cash is taken and there is a machine that accepts card payments right by the entrance.

Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
