The fifth and final report of the CWGC non-commemoration project has been published. The work started by the Commission continues in a slightly restructed format. All is explained on the CWGC site.
In a blog posted on 27 April, CWGC historian George Hay explains about archives used for the non-commemoration project. You can read about it here.
News has been received that Peter Baxter passed away in early April. Peter set up the initial website in 2011 for the then Great War in East Africa Association. He wrote on various military topics concerning Africa. It is due to Peter and Howard Chinner setting up the Association online that the GWAA is able to be what it is today.
Don’t forget on 13 May we have our next GWAA seminar at 6pm UK time. Dominic Etzold will be talking about using German archives in relation to his recently published book The Africa Ship and his current research.
