Sevenoaks Battles by Nick White
Many will know Nick as the author of the Society’s popular series of local walks. What is less well known is his military background. He comes from an army family: his forebears took part in many conflicts including the Crimean War, the Boer War and the two World Wars. His brother parachuted into Suez in 1956. Nick duly also became a soldier and joined his regiment in Germany a week after the Berlin Wall went up. He left the regular army after three years, after which he spent six years in the territorials. He now runs a military history group for Sevenoaks U3A and has given annual presentations on local military history to the group for the past twenty years. All talks start at 8pm in St Luke’s Hall in Eardley Road, Sevenoaks. Tea and coffee are available from 7.30. All are welcome to attend – no need to book: just turn up! (We invite non-members to make a donation of £5, deducted from your first annual membership subscription if you join the Society).
