A lecture and sandwich lunch

The Centenary of  1917 in Britain has been dominated by the memory of Passchendaele. Yet the offensives in the Spring that led to the French Army Mutiny, and continued until October, were more influential.  It is probably the largest battle on the Western Front that most people have never heard of. François Wicart, the historian and battlefield guide who gave us an excellent talk on Verdun is going to talk about the French Army Mutiny of 1917.   

 

The event includes a sandwich lunch and a glass of wine.
