Welcome to Cross & Cockade International
Lead article this quarter is a piece by Joe Moran - a fascinating study of those interred at the CWGC at Achiet le Grand. And the Gazetteer reaches Fyfe!
Planning is now well underway for the proposed Cross & Cockade 2012 Seminar, to be held at York over the weekend of 22/24 June 2012. We're building a truly international list of speakers, talking on a wide variety of subjects. There will also be plenty of time to sit and natter - meeting many of the "names" that most of us only know via article by-lines or (at best) via email. Put the date in your diary, and watch this space for the latest news - it's going to be an event not to be missed!!

We had another successful year at the Scale ModelWorld show at Telford. Plenty of new memberships and renewals - and sales had a good time too. We're seeing the number of entries in WW1 aviation classes rise year on year, and a seriously modified Wingnut Models RE8 was the worthy winner of the 2011 CCI Trophy.
