“Arthur’s War” The diary of Gunner Arthur Smith RFA/RHA 1916-1919

Speaker: Rick Smith
Vickers Machine Gunners In WW1

The First World War and the Western Front have been part of Rick Smith’s life for over 45 years. He was six years old when he first visited the battlefields with his family: it was his father’s passion. Over the following years he has visited many times, in the last twenty in particular following his grandfathers war service from his diaries.

Rick’s particular interests are the RFA/RHA/HA, the Underground War and the Logistics of the Western Front.

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.
