A talk by Tom Greensheilds on ‘Leaders – the British Army NCO in the Great War – a reappraisal?’

This talk is based on Tom’s ongoing research.  He will argue that studies of leadership and the Great War have concentrated too much on officers and failed to recognise adequately the crucial role played by NCOs (Non-commissioned officers - usually sergeants and corporals). This slightly provocative talk aims to redress the balance and stimulate debate.

Some members may recall Tom’s last visit to us, in December 2017 when he spoke about ‘The Highland Soldier' and was suitably attired!
