Book Launch
The society is delighted to
invite you to the launch of
our forth-coming book,
"Farnham in the
Great War", by
F&DMS member, Maurice Hewins.
This is an extraordinary
book, the cover of which you
will find in the latest copy
of our journal. It deals
with the run-up, duration
and aftermath of the war,
but from an unusual
perspective, that of the
people on the Home Front. It
is liberally illustrated
with postcard images,
drawings and the many
posters that gave the public
notice of events and
strictures as they were
imposed. It gives a
wonderful picture of life in
our town at a notable time,
but Farnham also stands for
all the other towns and
villages in a country at
war.
The society is proud to
publish this book in its
Occasional Publications
series.
The launch will be held at
The Rural Life Living
Museum, Tilford, on Saturday
19th September 2020 from 2
to 4pm in the new picnic
shelter, so we will be
outside, with cover if the
weather is unkind.
The society will make a
donation to the museum so
that you will have free
entry. We will be unable to
supply the usual
refreshments, but the cafe
will be pleased to serve
you. We are suggesting an
extended period of time for
the launch, so that we can
provide the necessary
distancing measures. It
would help us enormously if
you could send a reply if
you intend to come to the
launch, with an approximate
time if possible. The email
for the Chairman is in the
