Major Gordon Corrigan has regularly featured as a Guest Speaker on the Golden Eagle train and presented a selection of online lectures for us during the pandemic in 2020-21, which we would highly recommend watching back if you missed the opportunity to watch them live.
He spent most of his adult life as an officer of the Royal Gurkha Rifles in the British Army, serving mainly in the Far East, but also in Cyprus, Berlin, Belize and Northern Ireland. He is now a professional military historian and the author of a number of books on subjects including the First and Second World Wars and the Hundred Years War to name a few. His latest book Tipping Points – Battles that Changed History was published in March 2022 (gordoncorrigan.com).
