John will tell us some of the stories behind the publication of the book and share with us some insights into how he collected the stories of the lives and deaths of around 200 men and one woman from Benalla and District who served in the Great War and did not return home.
Previously John has contributed a magnificent series of articles to the Ensign on World War 1. John also taught the well-received semester-length course ‘Over There’ several times during the anniversary period of the centenary of World War I in 2017 and 2018.
All U3A members are welcome.
