BHS 3RD THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST PRESENTS “BRISTOL’S PARTICIPTION IN THE BATTLE OF SEICHEPREY” 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF WW1 7:00PM Presented by The Military Museum While the small town of Bristol, Connecticut was quiet in the wee hours of April 20, 1918, the most shocking time in its military history was beginning 3,600 miles away in the ruined town of Seicheprey, France. As Bristol slept, its men who were part of the Yankee Division’s 102nd Infantry were deafened by a massive, unrelenting German bombardment. Those green troops were about to make history by participating in the first significant engagement fought by the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. What followed was vicious hand to hand fighting with 3,200 attacking German storm troopers in the trenches, in the woods, and in the village. When the fighting ceased, 18 Bristol men from Company D were wounded, almost two dozen were captured, and a total of 8 Bristol men died, all within just 24 hours. Timothy Denehy from the Memorial Military Museum will share memorable stories of some of those men. Artifacts from the WWI exhibit in The Jack Denehy Gallery will be passed among the audience. Refreshments will be served and donations are gratefully accepted. Carol Denehy, Chairman SAVE THE DATE!!
