The driving force being the conference, Prof. François Cochet sums up the proceedings, highlighting the links between the battles of Verdun and the Somme. This conference’s goal was to challenge their perception as two separate events. Personally, I think we succeeded. Publications forthcoming
On my way to a conference at Verdun to talk about the place of the battle in Russian strategy in 1916.
The Memorial of Verdun has a great programme of events to mark the 110th anniversary of the battle, check it out.

Not the First World War content but here is a great article on the Cold War!
If you are in St Andrews on 9 March, please come along to ‘Framing the First World War’ book launch. Aimée, Dave and Mike have done a terrific job with the book that explores how combatants framed the conflict as it unfolded. I will also present on my contribution on Russo-French military learning.
Featuring our very own Book Review Editor, Daniel Steinbach, come and hear more about the book review process both at FWWS specifically and more generally
(NB this is a members only event - and an excellent example of why you should join the Society, as well as receiving our journal!)

This is my first article on Soviet history relied exclusively on declassified American and British archives. It is also my first piece to be reviewed by five peer reviewers. The story of the Cold War, the KGB, and same-sex entrapment that no one has ever written about.
