Focusing on the Somme

Resources for Studying the Battle in Depth

Building on the great success of our 2003 Tour and Seminar that focused on the Ypres Salient, the WFA-USA has tentatively scheduled a similar program for the Somme Sector, April 4-16, 2005. Leading up to 2005, we will be adding resources to our website to help members in learning about the Battles in the Somme Sector during 1916 and 1918. Contributions are sought from the membership and our friends that give a fresh look or detail new information about those events of long ago.
