The Western Front Association was formed to maintain interest in the period 1914-1918, on all sides and on all Fronts. It does not seek to glorify war and is entirely non-political and is not commercially motivated.

The Milton Keynes Branch holds meetings on the third Friday of the month with guest speakers on a variety of topics related to World War 1. You do not need to be a member of the WFA to come to our meetings and we welcome everyone with an interest in the Great War.
