The Western Front Association and the Great War - the Future

The Western Front Association and the Great War  -  the Future

The Move from Oral to Written History of the Great War

Following the sad loss of Harry Patch, the last of the Great War Veterans to have seen action in the trenches, we have moved from the period of oral testimony to that of written testimony of this tumultuous period of world history.

The Western Front Association now has a new challenge. We have sought to maintain interest in the period 1914-1918, to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of those on all sides who served their countries on all of the battlefields of the Great War, whether on land, at sea or in the air.

We must now rise to this challenge and maintain interest in the Great War. In doing so we will pay due respect to those who survived, to those who returned maimed, both physically and mentally, and to those who fell, from all the nations who took part in this period of world history.
