Speaker: Bill Pinfold.

While standard supplies like food and ammunition were typical railway loads on the Western Front, many unusual loads were also transported, often with great difficulty, and ingenuity, to the frontline.

Bill’s presentation will cover some of the more unusual items that the railways carried to the Western Front, enhanced with some of Bill’s models.
