Hello Please find details below of the next Archives *for *London seminar: *'Lord Raglan wishes ...': Archives for the Crimean War at the National Army Museum* The National Army Museum possesses the foremost archive of private papers relating to the Crimean War in the country, ranging from the collections of Lord Raglan and General Codrington (both of whom were commanders-in-chief in the Crimea) to the barely literate letters of the common soldier. Alastair Massie, (former Head of Archives) who knows the Museum's Crimean War holdings intimately, will discuss what the various letters and diaries tell us about the conduct of a war notorious for its mismanagement but equally celebrated for its heroism. *Thursday 7 March 2013*, *6:00pm* (doors 5:30pm) - 7:30pm at London Metropolitan Archives - Huntley Room 40 Northampton Road, London EC1R 0HB *Advance booking is essential*.
