'18th July 1918: the REAL turning point of the Great War' by Rich Willis

Over the many years that the branch has held meetings, we have covered all sorts of subjects not necessarily confined to the Western Front. At our March meeting - on Sunday, 6th March 2025 - we will turn our attention to the French.

Rich Willis will speak on '18th July 1918: the REAL turning point of the Great War'. The narrative of the battle will feature the chequered and controversial career of General Charles Mangin, whose military genius sits at the core of the story. As we we have seldom touched upon the French Army, this will be a most welcome subject. (Description updated 24/3/25.)

Members and guests are invited to attend. Doors open around 13.40 and we do ask for a contribution of £4.00 on the door to cover rom hire etc.
