Branch Meeting 19th October 2012

Tonight's talk doesn't concentrate on great offensives, mass troop movements or any other overview of the Great War.  The subject is the memoirs of one soldier and has been researched, and will be presented, by Richard Paczko of the WFA's Wolverhampton branch.  The talk is entitled;

"Shall I Ever Dance Again?"

The soldier concerned is Richard's great-uncle, who kept a diary of his Great War service.  The diary describes the day-to-day life in the trenches, together with eye-witness accounts of battle and the horrendous sights which ensued.  There is also humour, a bit of a mystery and, Richard says, something of interest to football fans!
