Passchendaele Salute 2017 November update

Joseph Ash Trucks carrying artillery for salute

Over the last year we have published a few articles about the Passchendaele Salute 2017. In case you’ve missed these articles, Joseph Ash Galvanizing has donated the use of some of its trucks for a number of days, to carry Great War field artillery from the Midlands to France, to take part in the Salute. (You can read the full story here.) 

The Passchendaele Salute takes place on 10 November, and in preparation for the event, the trucks and the Great War guns have already started their long journey. They travelled from Hereford to Kent yesterday, where they are stayed overnight, before crossing the English Channel today.
