David Tattersfield Posted 2 February , 2020 Share Posted 2 February , 2020 Hi Steve (and all) The experimental live stream of a WFA branch talk was very successful yesterday. This was really just a 'proof of concept', and a lot was able to be learned from this. Due to the nature of the presentation it was probably not the best lecture we could have used as a trial (absolutely no fault of the speaker, who was superb). What I have done is "unpublished" the live stream from the WFA's youtube channel so the link in post #123 above will now not work. However, we have a recorded version of the talk by Luci Gosling 'in the can' and this will be edited and the slides she showed of the artist's work will be 'spliced' into the talk in the usual manner. This will be published on youtube in the future. I hope everyone who tuned into the live stream enjoyed the talk and as I say, this was a very useful 'trial'.

David Tattersfield Posted 12 March , 2020 Share Posted 12 March , 2020 (edited) A brand new lecture, which involved lots of editing (there were lots of images used to illustate the presentation) has just been published today. In this presentation, Andy Prada takes a close look at an often neglected aspect of the First World War in one of the often overlooked sectors of the front line. Just how much 'engineering' was needed in the First World War? As Andy explains, the answer is vast amounts. And beneath the fields, much of this is still intact.

David Tattersfield Posted 14 April , 2020 Share Posted 14 April , 2020 Alan Wakefield of the IWM gave a brilliant talk in late 2019 to the Yorkshire branch of the WFA which was recorded. This is now available and has been enhanced with lots of extra images. I hope this helps those suffering during the lockdown period.

David Tattersfield Posted 10 September , 2020 Share Posted 10 September , 2020 The webinar entitled Blood on the sand: The Affair at Katia, 23 April 1916' by Stuart Hadaway details how, just over 20 miles short of the Suez Canal, the Ottomans ran into the scattered outposts of a British Yeomanry Cavalry Brigade. A day long fight ensued among the sand dunes as the outnumbered Yeomen were cut off, surrounded, and overwhelmed piecemeal. Despite taking appalling casualties, they succeeded in blunting the Ottoman attack, and prevented a catastrophe that would have had severe repercussions on the British war effort.

fellop Posted 15 September , 2020 Share Posted 15 September , 2020 Thanks for the information David. We have been away for a couple of weeks and I am attempting to play catch up. You have to love the irony of the still on your post. Night raid or patrol, rockets going up to illuminate the area and there is 'Good Old Tommy' over the parapet carrying a duck board with fag in mouth.
