Lt.-Col Simon Shephard: Gunners definitely - but not necessarily Arsenal Fans
Simon will follow the sixteen field artillery brigades of the four London Territorial Divisions from mobilisation in 1914, through training (1915-1916), and onto their campaigns on the Western Front (1915-1918), in Salonika (1916) and Palestine (1917-1918).
The lecture seeks to weave a narrative which tells the story not only of the organisations and the changes they underwent but of the men and their experiences both on campaign and in battle.
The London Territorial Division was made up of:
47th (2/1st) Londons,
56th (1/1st) Londons,
58th (1/2nd) Londons,
60th (2/2nd) Londons.
