ONLINE: The Demon Saves the Day: Charles FitzClarence VC and the First Battle of Ypres 1914 with Spencer Jones
21 Feb

The presentation will be live and online. 

In October and November 1914 the British Expeditionary Force was locked in desperate combat at the First Battle of Ypres, proportionately the bloodiest battle fought by the BEF in the entire war. Individual officers played a crucial role in this inferno.

This lecture by Dr Spencer Jones studies the career of one of the most important commanders at First Ypres: Brigadier-General Charles FitzClarence VC, an officer of fearsome reputation who had earned the unusual nickname 'The Demon' for his ferocity in battle.
