We have worked with Pendraken ( https://www.pendraken.co.uk/ ) for the past five years, giving talks on the Spanish Civil War in 2022 and 2023. The first talk will be 10:45am - 11:45pm, given by Rory Pratt, from the the Spanish Civil War living history group La Columna ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/109064735072/ ) on Armoured Warfare during the Spanish Civil War
Rory Pratt is a long time member of the Spanish Civil War living history group La Columna as well as being a keen wargamer of the period. He will be giving a talk in conjunction with a participation game that will be running throughout the day. The talk will centre on armoured warfare during the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, the equipment used by the factions during the conflict, as well as the lessons learnt and missed by the nations supporting them. Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany as well as the Soviet Union were actively involved in the war so this talk will appeal to anyone interested in tank warfare in the Second World War as well as those interested in the Spanish Civil War itself.
The other two talks will be given by John Wilson ( https://goslingpress.co.uk/ ) entitled : Gallipoli 1915 - A campaign doomed to failure or a campaign almost won, and by Sean and Lorrain McCartney of The Newcastle Garrison Living History group ( https://www.facebook.com/newcastlegarrison/ ) on The Percy family and the Civil Wars
