Branch Meeting 15th February 2013

Our speaker this month is Vern Littley.  Vern, a former soldier, is a member of the Guild of Battlefield Guides.  His talk is entitled;

"The Battle of Nonne Bosschen - 11th November 1914"

Vern will describe the battlefield today and tell the story of how XLI Brigade stopped the Prussian Guard in its tracks.

Update; Extra Meeting

Following the cancellation of last month's meeting, we are in the process of re-engaging Jeremy Banning at an extra event later in the year.  All meetings for the rest of 2013 have speakers booked, so the idea is to arrange a meeting at an alternative venue, possibly on a Saturday, to promote the WFA in general, and the branch in particular.  We may also book a second speaker and we are looking to invite other like-minded local organisations to join us on the day (History Societies, for example).  Details will be published in due course.
