Apologies for the late post about last month's talk.
Dr. John Bourne, former director of the Institute for First World War Studies at Birmingham University, gave an enthralling talk about his research into some of the names on his home town's Great War memorial.
Entitled;
“Thoughts on a Small
Town’s Roll of Honour –Burslem, Staffs.”,
it was a fascinating insight into the men of Burslem, their lives and livelihoods, reasons why they joined up and what became of them. Delivered with professional ease, it was a much appreciated presentation.
