About the lecture:
In mid-1969, B Sqn of The Life Guards was one of the first units deployed in Northern Ireland in what came to be known as The Troubles. Joll was a Troop Leader in B Squadron and gives a first-hand account of the long-forgotten reasons for the conflict, enlivened with some of the bizarre, funny and tragic events he experienced.
About the speaker:
Christopher Joll is a former officer in The Life Guards and the Regimental Historian of the Household Cavalry. He is also a serial author of novels and histories, a guest speaker for several cruise lines, a regular contributor at literary festivals, and an audio and video podcaster for the Household Cavalry Museum. He is currently working on a history of the important collection of historical relics and art, including Napoleon’s underwear and campaign carriage that were lost in the fire at Madame Tussaud’s in 1925.
