1st November 2007
Prof Richard Holmes gave a superb and mesmerizing lecture on 1st November 2007 about the experiences of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment in Iraq to an invited audience, talking about the Regiment of which he is Honorary Colonel and the incident in which Private Johnson Beharry won his Victoria Cross. His illuminating talk expressed the similarities between today’s soldiers and those of yesteryear The gallantry, challenges and comparisons remain entirely relevant.
