Merseyside branch

Welcome to the Merseyside Branch of The Western Front Association

We meet on Fridays at 7.00pm. We are a well established branch that has been meeting for over 30 years. We ask for a small donation of £4, this covers the cost of room hire and the speaker's expenses. We also have a raffle with tickets costing £1.

As well as our monthly meeting, we organise day trips out to sites of military and historical interest. We also organise a bi-annual battlefield tour to France and Flanders.

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.

We look forward to welcoming you to our branch meetings
