Lost Mines of the Somme

Speaker: Dave Barras
IMG 5839

Dave will tell of some of the mines which over the years have laid dormant since the cessation of hostilities. On a recent visit he went to the Somme to investigate. This was followed up with a visit to the National Archives to discover further details.

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 people.

We look forward to welcoming you to our branch meetings
