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.

 

The Churchill Lecture Series, which runs from September 2009 until April 2010, is presented by some of the world’s leading authorities on Churchill. They take place within the remarkable and historic setting of the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms. Sponsored by Military History.

October 2009 marks the centenary of the modern British Intelligence Community and the founding of the Secret Intelligence Service (sometimes known as MI6) and the Security Service, MI5. Included in this lecture series; presented by some of the leading historians in the field of intelligence and based in part upon closed records, we offer a fascinating insight into the wartime contribution of SIS.
