At u3a Military History we study this ever-relevant aspect of history. The topics being explored will be wide-ranging, going back throughout history. It is a chance for our members to contribute to and develop their own understanding of military history. We have a calendar of areas to be covered and some very enthusiastic and knowledgeable members. We are always looking for speakers to come and address the group and are also planning to visit places of interest. If you are interested in joining the group please contact Neil Hoy to find out more about our previous missions and battle honours.
