AN EVENING WITH MICHAEL GOODE
6:30pm, Wednesday 16 November 2016.
Mabel Goode's recently discovered diary records how life at the Home Front was transformed by a conflict without precedent, and brings to life the work of the RAMC through its admiring description of her brother's service.
The Talk will cover both what the diary does and does not record: alongside Mabel's own story, she shows us the realities of life at the Front for a Captain of the RAMC, the things that kept him alive, how he won the MC and Bar, and the changed Britain he came back to.
