    It was with much sadness that I was informed last night that our friend, & fellow member of the VC & GC Assoc, William (Bill) Speakman VC, had passed away at the RHC with family at his side. A true hero, gentleman, & giant amongst men, he will be sadly missed. R.I.P., Sir.

    Disappointed to hear that the @LordAshcroft Gallery at IWM will close in June. Home to the VCs&GCs of many of the VCGCA. A unique collection which uses the decorations to tell stories of courage. Before it closes pay a visit & reflect on the courage of extraordinary men&women
