Charity welcomes 152 Regimental Association

ASAADMIN • September 27, 2025

On Saturday, September 27th, the Ancre Somme Association Charity was delighted to welcome the 152 Regimental Association to our charity's HQ in Brownlow Courtyard.

The 152 Regimental Association was welcomed by the ASA Charity's Community Development Officer, Lexi Davidson, who explained the history of the charity and the importance the charity puts in education, remembrance, and supporting our Armed Forces charities.

The 152 Regimental Association then had a viewing of the documentary, Remembering the Somme, which was produced by the charity. The documentary follows its members as they made a pilgrimage to the battlefields of France and Belgium in 2016, marking the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.

We would like to thank the 152 Regimental Association for their visit. We hope they enjoyed their time with us and the tour they enjoyed afterwards of the majestic Brownlow House.

If your group or organisation would like to visit our HQ, or organise a tour of Brownlow House, please do not hesitate to contact us.
