Margery was the lovely and caring wife of our founder, John Giles. She passed away peaceful without any pain on Friday, 21 November.

I am sure that everyone in the Association would wish to offer Margery's son, Howard and his family their heartfelt condolences. Margery will be sadly missed by all of us in the Western Front Association.

The funeral service will be at Loughborough Crematorium, Leicestershire, at 2pm on 4 December. Friends and acquaintances are most welcome at the service and afterwards at Howard's family home. WFA members should contact the WFA Chairman, Bruce Simpson, for details or telephone Howard on 01509 815645 for any further details required.

Flowers are welcome; in case anyone would like to send some, please do so via Swann’s Funeral Service, 4 Bridge Street, Loughborough LE11 1NQ, tel: 01509 210656.

Donations are welcome for the Stroke Association 

The WFA's Forum - "Front Forum" is now live.

You can find it here: Front Forum. You can also link to the Forum via the Resources menu on the home page of the WFA website.

The Forum is an online resource not only for WFA members but for all visitors to our website to discuss matters of mutual interest about The Great War. You do not have to be a member of The Western Front Association to enlist on the Forum.

Initially, the majority of the topic sections mirror the menu items here on the WFA website. We welcome suggestions for topic headings - you can submit them either here or on the Front Forum.

Please note that the Front Forum requires that you make a separate login to that which you have used on the main site (this website). You can use the same user name and password if you wish, but the two are not linked.

We look forward to seeing you on the Front Forum and your participation in our online discussions on all aspects of The Great War.
