To mark the centenary of the end of the Great War, the Douai Society invites you to the inaugural Gwydir Lecture, named in honour of Fr Basil Gwydir OSB (1867-1914) Old Dowegian and monk of Douai, and the first Allied Chaplain to fall in World War I.

Colonel Bruce Duncan MBE will speak of his military experiences as recounted in his recent book 'A Loan Soldier'.

The talk is free but you must register to attend. It will be followed by a light buffet lunch (free of charge for Old Dowegians; £10 for others).
