Robert Keable, utterly immoral WW1 chaplain? by Simon Keable-Elliott


Simon's talk is about his grandfather's time as a WW1 chaplain in France to the appallingly treated men of the South African Native Labour Corps; and the story of the writing, publication and reaction to Robert Keable's scandalous semi-autobiographical bestselling war novel Simon Called Peter. What happened in France to lead a Cambridge educated rising star in the Church of England to leave the church, and his wife, and to run away to Tahiti to live in Paul Gauguin’s house with his mistress?
