The association now has 250 members worldwide. Annually at 07.28 on 1st July, friends gather together for a ceremony at Lochnagar Crater beside the village of La Boisselle on the Somme to remember the men who made the ultimate sacrifice in 1916. http://www.greatnorthernpublishing.co.uk/index.htm Two main publications, The Great War Magazine 1914-1918 and The Second World War Magazine, 1939-1945, are published by this independent, family owned and award winning company based in Scarborough, Yorkshire. They are available by subscription only, so please check out their website for full details. http://www.irishsoldier.org Owned and run by The Somme Heritage Association based in Northern Ireland, the Ulster Tower opposite the Thiepval Wood on the Somme is a replica of a well known Ulster landmark, Helen's Tower, which stands on the Dufferin and Ava Estate at Clandeboye, County Down. It was in the shadow of Helen's Tower that the men of the newly formed Ulster Division drilled and trained on the outbreak of the Great War. http://www.ospreypublishing.com Martin has published several titles with Osprey Publishing, with British Tommy 1914-18 being on their best seller’s list.

Martin was pleased to be invited in 2006 to be their Vice President (UK) to join Philippe Druin, Vice President (France) and the President, Francois Bergez. http://www.westernfrontassociation.com The Western Front Association was formed with the aim of furthering interest in the period 1914-1918, to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of all those who served their countries in France and Flanders and their own countries during The Great War. We were founding members in 1981 and still have joint membership number 0006. Martin has been a popular guest speaker at many of the WFA Branch meetings.
