The IWM's Peter Hart is this month's guest speaker. Peter has produced a number of books on the Great War and appeared on many TV programmes about the conflict. His talk is entitled;
“The French at Gallipoli”
This presentation concentrates on the, largely unheralded, French contribution to the 1915 Gallipoli campaign, both at sea and on land. Usually considered as a British, Australian and New Zealand attack, Peter explains how the French became to be considered, by some, to be the most effective fighting force on the peninsular.
