Step back into one of the most defining moments of the First World War. This powerful and moving talk explores:
• the tactics and tragedy of the Battle of the Somme
• the journey of local men who travelled from Ulster to the front
• how the battle was remembered in the decades that followed
• the remarkable story of a 99 year old Somme veteran, interviewed by the speaker
Discover why the Somme holds such deep resonance for families across Northern Ireland and why it has often been called "Ulster's Gettysburg."
