Collingwood Society 2017
The Collingwood Society has now published its programme for 2017, which looks very interesting as usual (I always kind of half hope that it won't be quite so interesting, so I'm not tempted to run away to Newcastle so much...). I'm not sure if anyone is within reach of the north east of England, but if you are, there's lots to hear.
Two talks in particular look to be of broader interest, although there's plenty more:
The Annual Collingwood Lecture on 9th March, is on Naval Surgery during the French Wars 1792-1815, and is given by 'retired surgeon and renowned Napoleonic era historian' Mr Michael Crumplin - something for the Stephen Maturin fans, if they're brave enough!
And on 26th September there will be a talk on The Early Days of the Royal Marines, by a speaker who is currently nameless - definitely of interest to some people here!
