– BOURTON VILLAGE HALL TUESDAY 18th MARCH 7.30pm
On 28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist, assassinated Grand Duke Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and his wife. In a supercharged atmosphere of competing empires, heated international politics and burgeoning nationalism, this was the catalyst that put the powers onto an inescapable road leading to the Great War. This presentation explores the underlying political and military causes of the War which was to cost millions of lives and lead, inexorably, to the Second World War.

So gentle readers, do come and join us for a riveting evening. Bar open from 7pm, tickets from the usual – Hat (840057), Nick (841386), Brian Martin 840433) and, of course, the garages at Bourton and Zeals
