Saturday 3rd December - 2.00pm
A talk by Harry Moses
Based on his newly published book, Harry Moses' talk is about the experiences of officers and men over the period 1919-55. It traces the life of the Durham soldier in colonial India between 1920 and 1937, the actions of the Battalion in France/Belgium in 1940, the bitter fighting in Burma in the Arakan and Kohima 1943-44, and the peacetime activities after the war. It is a story of courage, devotion to duty and considerable humour, for which the Durham soldier is renowned. As well as fighting, the Battalion's considerable sporting achievements are included along with active service in Shanghai and the North West Frontier.
There will be a small drinks reception after the talk at which copies of the book will be available to purchase and be signed by the author.
