Raiders on the Battlefield

Speaker: Dr James Pritchett
Hero Wwi Trench Raiders

This talk examines the view that Special Force sprang into life newly born and formed during WW2.

It is not a history of revolution, but of steady evolution, with new chapters written when the terrain was wrong for set piece battles or when an inspirational commander found enthusiastic volunteers with specialist skills

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.
