Club members please log in for more information.

Rtn Colin Gash continues the centennial story of WW1. He now moves to 1917 with all its failures and successes and war changing  events and again it will also be looked at through the eyes of his Grandfather's regiment the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry .

There is also a Rotary story to be told .

Tanks and Yanks is a way of describing the strategic changes  of 1917 over the previous three years of the war but unfortunately Passchendaele occurred first .
