Our 2025 Conference, 'Where Lightning Struck Twice' focussed on the two battles at Bull Run (or Manassas to all you southerners) and as usual we had a great series of talks from both our US guests and our own ranks. The presentations will be released on our YouTube channel in the run up to our 2026 Conference, which will be about the Vicksburg Campaign.
The 2025 videos
available to view are listed below in the order in which they were delivered.
The first talk was by Rob Orrison,. 'Twice Baptised' looked at the two battles and highlighted a number of popular misconceptions and legends about the battlefield. The link to our YouTube channel is
