Forgotten Voices From The Past

As the centenary commemorations for the start of The First World War begin, it still remains a powerful episode in our collective memory.  Maggs Latter, former Arts Development Officer at the Borough of Elmbridge, accompanied by Glen Kirton will evoke the 'forgotten voices' of that terrible time in the world's history as part of the first talk of the year in the Royton Pike Lecture series on Thursday, 16 January at 8pm at the Riverhouse Arts Centre in Walton. Maggs will tell the story of a young Lieutenant Leonard Keysor, her Great Uncle, who was one of the eleven Australian soldiers awarded the Victoria Cross during the Gallipoli campaign. Tickets priced at £2 per person are available at the door on the evening. For further information, please see the programme,  email arts@elmbridge.gov.uk or call 01372 474568.
