Dear Fellow Riflemen,

 

The Light Division: Myths and Reality

 

Can I take this opportunity to invite you to the Viney Memorial Lecture to be held at The Oculus, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury, HP19 8FF on Sunday 7th October.

 

The lecture is a fundraising event to help us maintain our current collection and to acquire items of importance, further information is available at our recently updated website www.bmmt.co.uk .

 

This year we are delighted to announce that we have secured the well known journalist, broadcaster and author Mr Mark Urban as our guest speaker. Mark wrote a most informative and authoritative book The Rifles in 2003 and has a real interest in Military History. He is well known for his work at the BBC, especially the Newsnight programme.

 

We expect this to be a fascinating account of the Light Division in the Peninsula Wars of 200 years ago and how this relates today to our County Regiment – The Rifles.

 

The outline programme:

 

1700 Arrival – drinks and canapés

1730 Lecture commences

1830 Lecture finishes with questions

 

Tickets are priced at £15 per person and donations are welcome. Cheques should be made out to BMMT please. We do hope you can come.

 

Yours

 

 

Lt Col Simon Wilkinson TD DL
