About
The Badsey Society AGM will take place at 7.30 p.m. at the Badsey Community Sports & Social Club.
The AGM will be followed by the presentation of the Tony Jerram Award. After a short break, Alan Tutton will give a talk about “Lantern Slides of the Middle Eastern Campaign of WW1”. This is based on a wonderful collection of slides made by John William Marston, Ralph Bolland’s stepfather, during his time as a Medical Orderly/Nurse in the Royal Army Medical Corps, during which he nursed in field hospitals and hospital ships throughout the region. The slides, and the notes that accompany them, provide a wonderful snapshot of life in the area over a hundred years ago.
