The Freshwater & Totland Archive Group is organising an illustrated talk by David Slade on the topic of The Zeebrugge Raid on 23rd April 1918. David is a member of the Orders and Medals Research Society.

This talk tells the story and gives all those, who took part in the attack, their voice in the making of history. Several Island servicemen were present at that time and saw action during the raid, including Freshwater man Gunner Frederick Jenkins, Royal Marine Artillery, who lived in Camp Road Freshwater. Entry is £5 to include refreshments.
