Naval historian Dr. Colin White was a Gunroom "listswain" and contributed
his insight to our discussions of the works of Patrick O'Brian.
The
1805 Club
and the
Society for Nautical Research
have joined forces to create a substantive and long term memorial which
the consensus of the Gunroom felt would be appropriate to join with.
This is an annual series of lectures by several speakers on the theme
of naval leadership with an intended audience of young historians and naval
people, a project which Colin himself started a year of so before his
final illness. Thus it is very appropriate.
1805, SNR and the Gunroom have each put £1000 into the project and have thus
secured it for the first three years.
