Although VE Day was the 8 May 1945, the road to VE Day started on 1st September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Our talk will remember some of the key events during WW2, through some of the highs and lows, victories and losses. We will be remembering all the celebrations held up and down the country in the form of street parties which would always inevitably include that great British tradition of tea drinking. We have been a nation of tea drinkers since the reign of Queen Victoria in the 19th century - a good cuppa will always give you a lift. So, as part of the Talk we will add some interesting tea facts.

Having retired from a career in IT and Business Project Management, continued to build up a strong knowledge and interest in Military History. Working with a friend, Mick Byrne, we have developed a compelling passion for WWI history. We visit Belgium/France each year to research our WWI interest. We’d like to share our stories with Groups. It is the background and stories of the Events which receive our (and hopefully your) attention.
