Défense de Fumer
31 May

Steve Marsdin.

Steve is an active member of the WFA and the Great War Group. Married to a Belgian, he travels frequently and extensively in Belgium, the Ardennes and the French areas of the Great War.

Steve talk “Défense de Fumer: How a Company of French Reserves (May Have) Changed the War” looks at the remarkable events near and in the town of Fumay on the River Marne, in August 1914 when events, if they had turned out differently, had the potential to end the Great War shortly after it began.  Fascinating in “boys own story” way, the incredible turn of events makes a great Great War story.
