About the lecture:
On 11th November 1920, a grand ceremony took place in Whitehall with the triple objective of unveiling The Cenotaph, honouring the body of the Unknown Warrior on its journey to Westminster Abbey, and establishing a format for an annual commemoration of those British & Empire servicemen and women who had been killed in the First World War. In this illustrated talk, Christopher Joll shines a light on the now long-forgotten reasons for, and the events that led to, the building of the Cenotaph, the establishment of the grave of the Unknown Warrior and the annual Remembrance Day Parade.
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.
