The CWGC is working with the DCMS on planning for the
commemorations for the Battle(s) of the Somme. We would like to gather
information on events that may be taking place on the Somme during July to
November 2016. Could any readers contact me with any details that they
may have. We would like to know:
1.
When and what the event is?
2.
Do the organisers want the event to be made available to the wider public?
I would be grateful for any feedback glenn.hearnden@cwgc.org
