Gun Fire magazine
Between 1985 and 2004 a magazine was regularly produced by Dr Alf Peacock, who was (between 1988 and 1997) the Chairman of 'Northern Area' (subsequently the 'Yorkshire and Humberside' Branch) of The Western Front Association. The magazine - entitled 'Gun Fire' - examined a wide range of aspects of the First World War. It was very well received and produced to the highest standards. However, it is now difficult to obtain back copies of the publication and some early editions are very rare indeed.
A full set of Gun Fire magazines are available for members of The Western Front Association.

Virtually every issue contained reviews, with other regular features including 'Before Endeavours Fade', this being a mini-guide to areas to visit on the Western Front.
Another regular feature - appearing in every edition except some of the 'specials' was 'Notes and Queries'. These were 'paragraphs' each on something that had caught Dr Peacock's attention or had been brought to his notice.
Taking an overview of the whole series, Dr Peacock was interested in the issue of Courts Martial and in particular the execution of soldiers of the BEF. He also wrote numerous articles on individuals who has been awarded the Victoria Cross - such as Donald Bell, VC who is featured in edition number 31.
A number of articles have been extracted from Gun Fire and are available on the WFA website:
