In conversation with Robin Rhoderick-Jones
About this Event
About the Speaker
We are delighted to welcome Brigadier Rhoderick Jones, a distinguished veteran of both the Queen’s Own Hussars and the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars. Drawing on decades of service and deep regimental knowledge, Brigadier Jones has authored In Peace and War: The Story of The Queen’s Royal Hussars (The Queen’s Own and Royal Irish) — a superbly researched insider’s history of the UK’s elite armoured regiment.
His book spans over 300 years of service to the Crown, capturing the dedication, bravery, commitment, and unmistakable sense of humour that define the regiment. Highly recommended by the Military Historical Society, the work is dedicated to the officers, soldiers, and horses of all seven cavalry regiments whose stories it brings together.
What to Expect
This special evening offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the author about the making of this landmark regimental history. Brigadier Jones will explore:
- The challenges and rewards of writing a three‑century narrative
- Personal insights from his own service
- The evolution of the regiment through peace and conflict
- The human stories — and the horses — at the heart of the cavalry tradition
There will be time for audience questions, informal conversation, and browsing the museum after hours.
Your Ticket Includes
- Entry to the talk
- After‑hours access to the museum
- Wine, soft drinks, and picky bits
- A warm, welcoming evening in the company of fellow history enthusiasts
