Centenary of the Guns of August at National World War I Museum

WWI_logo The National World War I Museum of the United States in Kansas City welcomed veteran Churchill Centre lecturer John Maurer on October 9th. His hour-long lecture discussed Winston Churchill’s role in the build-up to the Great War and was the opening event organized by the Centre in commemorating the outbreak of war in 1914. The event was co-sponsored by the National Churchill Museum of the United States in Fulton, MO.

“John’s ability to describe the past in his engaging and captivating way really struck home with the audience,” Centre Executive Director Lee Pollock said. “Having him kick-off our WWI commemoration and to have it at such a location is the ideal way to begin the commemorations of the Great War and Churchill’s crucial role in the conflict.”

The Museum capped off the weekend with a showing of the acclaimed BBC docudrama “Churchill’s First World War”. Copies of this film may be purchased at amazon.com and amazon.ca.
