I thought I would alert readers to a free lecture at the National Library in Canberra this week.

Dr Meleah Hampton, Australian War Memorial historian, will explore allied efforts to capture the Old German trench line near Pozières, France, in 1916, leading to one of the most costly battles for Australians in the First World War. In association with the Canberra Great War Study Group, the Estaminet.

Date: Thursday 4 August 2016   5.30pm   free

Location: Theatre, Lower Ground 1, National Library of Australia, Canberra
