We welcome Dr Rob Thompson to Callow End this month. Rob is a former lecturer in Modern History at the University of Birmingham and his talk is entitled;
"The Church in the Bog - Passchendaele, October 1917"
After three unsuccessful attacks by General Plumer's forces during Third Ypres ('Passchendaele') in late September and early October 1917, Rob examines the fourth attempt, the disastrous Battle of Poelcapelle on 9th October, asking what went wrong, and why.
