10/11/18 Leicester ACG meeting on the end of World War 1

[Serge Forward]

This Saturday 10 November at 2pm

PUBLIC MEETING
How did WW1 really end?

Upstairs at the Regent Club, 102 Regent Rd, Leicester LE1 7DA
(venue is 5 mins walk from Leicester train station)
Ask at the bar downstairs for the “Libsoc” meeting

Organised by Anarchist Communist Group (Leicester)

With this year marking the 100th anniversary of the ending of the First World War, Leicester ACG will be holding a public meeting to look at what really brought the Great War to an end. In schools, the ruling class history curriculum teaches schoolchildren the reasons World War 1 started – forgetting the part about imperialist thieves falling out and fighting over markets for various national capitalist interests. School history lessons generally shy away from remembering what actually ended the war. This meeting explains why.

Looks like an interesting meeting !
One thing that has always intrigued me and I can't find reference in any books on the subject is Robert Newman stating that the first deployment of troops were the 2nd Dorset Regiment @ Basra !

Is this referenced anywhere ?
