The Battle of Monocacy

Although our 2023 Conference principally focussed on the great battles between Grant and Lee in Virginia, it also recognised these were not fought in isolation. In this video Iain Standen, CEO of the Bletchley Park Trust, battlefield guide, and long-standing member of our Round Table stretched the geographic scope a little to look at how the Confederacy threat to Washington DC was blocked at the Battle of Monocacy on 9 July 1864 despite a tactical Southern victory.
It’s still possible to book for our 2024 Conference, where we will explore The Atlanta Campaign of 1864. Book now through our website www.acwrt.org....
