Arras , Passendale and Cambrai
Speaker: Steve Warburton
1917 gave an opportunity for the 29th Division to show how much it had recovered from the battles of 1916. The talk will analyse the similarities and differences between the experiences of the Division at Arras, Passchendaele and Cambrai. The talk will benefit from the insights in the unpublished diaries and letters of CHT Lucas, the Commanding Officer of the 87th Brigade of that Division.
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.
