Christopher Mellor-Hill returns to the branch to give a presentation entitled The Great War in West Africa 1914 -1916. This is the story of campaigns that were usually small in size but significant in their impact by destroying the outposts of the German Empire
This meeting will be held in Cobham. Members of The Western Front Association and non-members are equally welcome. We ask for a modest £5 donation on the door.

People joining us at Cobham can use our cashless card system and use their credit card/phone with the reader that will be available at the signing-in desk.
To help make things easier and safer, we are asking those coming to Cobham to bring their own mug for coffee or tea.
