We can provide talks and lectures on various subjects of Family History and History in general. We also undertake certain research for military ancestors upon request although we may not accept the remit if we feel we cannot do justice to it. Charges for talks and research are listed separately. Lectures/talks currently available:

• War Memorials in the United Kingdom

  War memorials are a poignant reminder of the devasting effects of war. Memorials have been around for a few hundred years but with the Boer War they became a local focal point. The First World War saw the greatest toll of life in one conflict and the war memorials throughout the UK reflect the combined grief of the nation. We have been researching memorials and the men commemorated on them for many years now and have a prepared lecture of 1-2 hours. See our web site: www.roll-of-honour.com

• Boer War and Family History

  Many people are now researching their family history and find holes at the start of the 20th century. In many cases this is due to the loss of family members during the South African War 1899-1900. We have a prepared lecture that covers the lead up to the war, an overview of the events of the war and how to research men who died in the conflict; 1-2 hours. See our web site: www.boer-war.com

• The Military Burials of Malaysia and Singapore

  Many lost relatives in the Far East when the Japanese invaded Malaya and Singapore in World War 2 and throughout the region are military burials often in large cemeteries. Following the Second World War followed the Emergency an intrenal struggle that could have ended like Vietnam but was contained and led to Malaysia Independence. During this conflict many British, Australian, New Zealand, African and Ghurka soldiers died. These are buried in various areas of Malaysia and Singapore. We have compiled a database of these men and photographed many graves throughout the region.
