NOVEMBER MEETING
‘THE LAST CHARGE’ OF THE CALCUTTA LIGHT HORSE Neil Hannah
2.15 pm Thursday 19 November at Penrith Rugby Club
Neil Hannah is an accomplished speaker with a real interest in history. He will bring to life this episode about the last battle fought by a British militia in India: the Calcutta Light Horse. The action takes place not on horseback but on the high seas, and during the Second World War. Accountants, bankers, and civil servants struck an important blow for freedom at the end of British Raj. This operation was against enemy shipping and kept completely secret.
