Welcome to the U3AC Military History Circle Web Site: 2019/20
This web site is devoted to information about and the management of the U3AC Military History Circle (MHC). The MHC is a group of military history enthusiasts in the Cambridge area who give lectures and presentations weekly in university term time.
Meetings 2019/20
We meet at the U3AC Bridge Street Facility, Cambridge, Wednesday afternoons at 1.10 - 2.40 p.m
If you wish to contact the leader of the MHC, Harry Belsey, by email you can do so on habelsey@aol.com
A meeting, in outline, comprises a major presentation on a military theme, for about 45 minutes with a discussion afterwards, followed by a ‘Post Script’ session where a member will relate an anecdote, relate some personal or family history or talk for 5-10 minutes on medals or an artefact that he/she has brought in.
