'War and Friendship' is a contemporary debate with a panel of distinguished guests, such as Thomas Dixon, Michael Bond, Yeoman Warder, and Andy Merry. On the 27th October they will discuss how soldiers maintain their relationships during war by comparing the those who served in World War One, to those who serve today. Tickets are £7 or £6 for members.
