SUMMARY:London Region: Book talk 'Churchill’s Abandoned Prisoners' by author Rupert Wieloch
DESCRIPTION:The English-Speaking Union London branch invites you to a Talk by Rupert Wieloch on his latest book\, Churchill’s Abandoned Prisoners. \nDrinks will be served from 6.30pm\, the talk will start at 7.00pm sharp \nOne hundred years ago a group of fifteen British soldiers serving with the British Mission to Siberia were captured by the Red Army on Russian Christmas Eve (6th January). They were held in a lice-infested room at Krasnoyarsk for three months\, whilst Prime Minister Lloyd George’s representative signed a prisoner exchange treaty with Lenin’s envoy in Copenhagen. One of the prisoners was a young Captain Brian Horrocks (played by Edward Fox in the film A Bridge Too Far)\, who succumbed to epidemic typhus\, but was saved by his best friend who nursed him through the illness. In March\, the prisoners were escorted to Irkutsk where a British train arrived to pick them up\, but the Bolshevik authorities only allowed the women and children to leave and sent the sespondent soldiers 3\,500 miles to hateful prisons in Moscow. \nIn his talk at the English-Speaking Union\, Rupert Wieloch will describe how the soldiers maintained moral and coped with their fearsome ordeal and explain what the War Secretary\, Winston Churchill\, did to secure their protracted release. Rupert was educated at Winston Churchill’s alma mater and completed a Fellowship in International Relations at Pembroke College\, Cambridge during a 35 year career in the British Army. His extensive research includes a treasure-trove of unpublished documents and archives from Philadelphia\, London\, St Petersburg and Oxford. \nAfter the talk Rupert available to sign copies of his latest book\, which will be on sale. \nBookings can be made through Eventbrite: https://esuchurchilltalk.eventbrite.co.uk or by sending a cheque to Events\, English-Speaking Union\, 37 Charles Street\, London W1J 5ED.

SUMMARY:London Branch: Visit to the Garrick Club
DESCRIPTION:Situated in the heart of the West End and Theatreland\, the Garrick Club was founded in 1831 as a private members’ club by a group of literary gentlemen under the patronage of the King’s brother\, the egalitarian Duke of Sussex. They announced that the club would be a place where ‘actors and men of refinement and education might meet on equal terms.’ \nThe first members were a sophisticated and cosmopolitan group\, which included famous Dickens and Thackeray. Today the club has around 1\,300 members including many of the most distinguished actors and men of letters in England. \nThe club possesses an important theatrical library that includes many manuscripts and documents\, a valuable collection of play-texts and tens of thousands of playbills and theatre programmes. However\, the greatest treasure of the Garrick Club is the collection of theatrical paintings and drawings\, much the largest and most comprehensive in existence.
