14 Aug
The meeting is an opportunity for members and guests to rewrite history of the fateful diversionary attack upon the German held village of Gommecourt on the 1st July 1916. Divided into small groups the evening will be structured so that agreed plans can be re-enacted upon a mapping table leading up to the 'big push' of the 46th and 56th Division. Will the defending Germans retain the village or will the attack be different to the 'lack of offensive spirit' as suggested by Sir Thomas D’Oyly Snow?
