This month, we welcome Phil Drabble, whose remarkable journey along the Western Front offers a fresh perspective on remembrance and history. Inspired by Anthony Seldon’s moving account The Path of Peace, in which the historian walks the length of the Western Front, Phil chose a different mode of travel: his Triumph Tiger motorbike.
His route followed the same historic path, weaving through some of Europe’s most evocative landscapes—from the Swiss border through Alsace, Lorraine, Champagne, the Somme and Flanders—culminating at the North Sea in Belgium. Along the way, Phil encountered not only stunning scenery but also the enduring echoes of conflict and sacrifice.
Phil’s talk is a tribute to all who fought and fell on the Western Front, regardless of nationality. He brings a personal touch by focusing on the stories of two men from his native Nottingham, whose fates were sealed in the trenches of World War I.
Join us for this timely and thought-provoking presentation, blending travel, history, and remembrance in a unique and powerful way.
