​​Registration is now open for the three-day conference, AFTERMATH: the Cultural Legacies of WW1, to be held at King's College London from 21-23 May 2015, featuring eight keynotes from world-leading scholars across a range of disciplines.
Vivien Whelpton, Battlefield Guide and biographer of Richard Aldington, will be leading a walk in Bloomsbury, London, in July of this year. The tour will cover places associated with Wilfred Owen, who enlisted in London in 1915, and also the poets Siegfried Sassoon, Richard Aldington, the American poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Harold Monro, T.S. Eliot and W.B.Yeats. The tour will cover the Bloomsbury connections - and the connections with one another - of these poets during and immediately prior to the First World War.
“That Astonishing Infantry”
Siegfried Sassoon Fellowship AGM and annual conference will be held in Wrexham this year, home of Sassoon's regiment the Royal Welch Fusiliers.
A guided walking tour called ‘Wilfred Owen and the Tracks to the Trenches’ marks the centenary of Owen’s enlistment in the Artists Rifles. It includes a reading of ‘The Send-Off’, and a special visit to the interior of Mahim, the Owen family home in Monkmoor Road (by kind permissionof the owners, Mr & Mrs Roger Norton). In an echo of Tom Owen’s life with the railways, a lecture by the Shrewsbury Historic Railway Trust will tell the story of the railways and railwaymen in the war.
A talk about Wilfred Owen by Guy Cuthbertson.
The talk also provides an opportunity to view an exhibition of documents from the Wellend Collection, with an introduction by curator and archivist Fran Baker.
