The Churchill Lecture Series at the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms

23 March 2010

'With Winston Churchill at the Front'
Historian Nigel Steel investigates Churchill's time in the trenches. From November 1915 to May 1916, Churchill served in the trenches of France and Belgium, enduring danger and hardship alongside the men he commanded. This talk will take a detailed look at his time ‘at the front’ and show how Churchill proved to be a very able, if unusual, leader of men, rebuilding their morale after the losses they had suffered some weeks before. Head of the Imperial War Museum’s Research and Information Department, Nigel Steel is currently working as Principal Historian on the Lord Ashcroft Gallery Project.
Doors open at 6.30 with the lectures beginning at 7.00pm.
