Talks on Tyne: Newcastle Battalions in action on the Somme - Neil Storey
Newcastle Castle, in association with Tyne Bridge Publishing (Newcastle Libraries publishing arm), present Talks on Tyne, a series of six talks taking place 27 July 31 August in the Black Gate.
Join Neil Storey, author of over 30 books, as he talks about his latest: Newcastle Battalions on the Somme.
Newcastle raised more battalions of volunteer soldiers that went on to see active service than any other British provincial city during the First World War.
Based on newspaper accounts, war diaries, letters home and access to both public and private collections of local military photographs and memorabilia, this book is a tribute to the lads of Newcastle and Northumberland who answered their countrys call and went through the hell that was The Battle of the Somme.
