Through the eyes of soldiers: 15th September 1916

Kylie from Hutt City Libraries

All are welcome to join Moera Community Library Manager, Jeffrey Russell, for a fascinating look at the Battle of Flers in his talk 'Through the eyes of soldiers: 15th September 1916' during October and November.

Follow 4 soldiers before, during and after the first attack on the Western Front by NZ infantry at the Battle of Flers through letters, diaries and other official sources.

The talk on 26 October is part of our regular Tea and Tales session. Join us for a cup of tea and an hour of friendship and stories at the library.

The talk on 11 November falls on Armistice Day so we will begin with 1 minute silence.

Sandra from Normandale

Guess what, as the oldest dweller, well one of, in Normandale, it is always me who rings the council when the street lights go out for a week or more.
