DESCRIPTION:Greg Moyle will be speaking to us about Le Quesnoy story WW1 
   The story of Le Quesnoy has become one of the most famous in New Zealan
 d military history and the strong relationship between Le Quesnoy and New 
 Zealand continues to this day.     In WW1\, the New Zealand division ser
 ved gallantly on the western front. It saw action on the Somme\, Messines\
 , Broodseinde Ridge\, and Passchendaele. In 1918 the division was at the f
 orefront of the British 3rd army during the 100 days offensive. Following 
 actions at Baupame\,  Cambrai and ultimately Le Quesnoy.   The problem w
 ith Le Quesnoy was that it was a fortress with significant ramparts\, bast
 ions and other defensive works.    This is the story of how the New Zeal
 and Division managed to capture the city in the last days of WW1\, and th
 e locals' enduring affection for NZ and NZers\, and how Greg has been par
 amount in creating NZ's only WW1 museum in Europe.  This is a great story
  and Greg tells it well.   Penny and Warwick Leyland visited LeQuesnoy in
  2019 and were enthralled by its fortress\, its history and NZ street name
 s (even Helen Clark Road!)\,
