Lest we forget – the fate of ordinary soldiers in the First World War

Saturday, 09 May 2015, 17:30h

(Please note the change of programme.)

Gillian Gissing, a speaker from the UK, talks about her commemorative journey to Ypres (Belgium) to retrace the route that her great-uncle took a hundred years ago. She visited the field where he died in action and attended a ceremony at the Menin Gate – which bears his name – a memorial to the Missing. Gillian will talk about the fate of her great-uncle as well as the experiences shared by thousands of ordinary soldiers on both sides of the trenches.

In cooperation with the International Education Centre of the VHS Düsseldorf ‘Die Brücke’
