13:00, 28 Jan 2010RUSI, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2ET
Link to map: multimap
About the event:
A lecture by Lieutenant General Sir John Kiszely KCB MC commemorating the life of Field Marshal Earl Haig of Bemersyde and the forces he commanded.
Haig’s service to his country did not end in 1918. From then until his death in 1928, he fought tirelessly to look after those he had led in war. Not least among his greatest achievements was his part in the founding of the Royal British Legion, whose first president he became. In his lecture, Lieutenant General Kiszely will discuss how Haig’s leadership of the veterans of his day has resonance for us today.
Lieutenant General Sir John Kiszely KCB MC recently retired from the Army having commanded on operations at every level from platoon to division, including tours of duty in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands (1982), Bosnia, and Iraq where he was Deputy Commander of Multinational Forces. His staff appointments included three tours of duty in the Ministry of Defence, latterly as Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff. His final appointment in the Army was as Director of the UK Defence Academy. He is now a defence and security consultant, a Visiting Professor of War Studies at Kings College London and National President of the Royal British Legion.
