I’m Out! Escape from German POW Camps, 1914-1918

Speaker: Peter Hart
02 Feb 26 (3)

Peter Hart, the country's leading oral historian (at least that is what he tells me!) will be making a welcome return to the branch to look at some of the escapes made by British PoW during the Great War. This talk supports Peter's most recent book 'Beggar Me! I'm a Prisoner! British POWs in Germany, 1914-18' and is sure to be an entertaining evening.

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.

Suggested donation on the door £5.
