| SHERWOOD BOYS - THE DERBYSHIRE 'PALS' OF 1939-1940 |
| DR. MICHAEL SOMMERVILLE |
 |
Location: Christchurch Hall, Cottenham Park Road, SW20 ORZ Time: 3.30 pm Cost: WNTA Member £4.00; Non-WNTA Member: £4.50 The story of the Pals Battalions in the First World War is well known and the subject of numerous books. There is no equivalent literature about the generation which volunteered to fight a quarter of a century later in 1939. This talk looks at an ordinary Territorial infantry battalion, in the previously untold story of the challenges it faced and overcame leading up to Dunkirk. |
