In place of our usual monthly talk, August sees a Society visit to the "Great War Huts" - a fantastic and interesting First World War Visitor Centre providing an insight into how soldiers lived and worked via the restoration and preservation of a number of original First World War Barrack Huts giving access to original artefacts and hands-on exhibits as well as talks by subject matter experts. The site includes a large trench system, accurately recreated to provide a true experience of the conditions.

Keep an eye out for more details of the visit through emails, posters and on this site!
