Ancre Somme Association
The fledgling Ancre Somme group has went from strength to strength since its inception in October, attending numerous events across Northern Ireland and beyond with several trips and meetings planned for the coming months.
March’s meeting will incorporate a presentation by Dessie Cumberland on his recent trips to the Somme War Grave sites and with the Association planning it’s own visits to the historic battleground, the Powerpoint display will hopefully encourage more members to sign up for the trip in 2014.
