robigunner88 Posted 23 October , 2013 Share Posted 23 October , 2013 Evening Great War Forum, I noticed whilst trawling through Professor Gary Sheffield's Tweets on Twitter (social networking for those not so familiar with the terms) that the University of Wolverhampton is hosting a First World War Day School on the 16th November. According to Professor Sheffield, speakers will include Professor Stephen Badesy and Dr Spencer Jones. Therefore the talks may touch on topics including Haig, First World War Calvary and the BEF in 1914; areas that all three specialise in. All three are current lecturers at the University; which I believe is planning on launching a First World War Masters next year. I've checked the University website, however, the event is yet to be listed. I'm sure that this will be of interest to many and it is certainly an event that I am considering travelling up to. Jamie.

John(txic) Posted 24 October , 2013 Share Posted 24 October , 2013 Their marketing skills would appear to be sadly lacking.... As there's a thriving WFA Branch in Wolverhampton - not to mention the South Staffs Pals - they might get a few bums on seats if they told anyone aboout it!
