Our 'Tin Hut Talks' series is back for 2026, in the last useable WWI Nissen Hut in the country.
About this Event

This month's Tin Hut Talk guest speaker is amateur historian Nigel Shearman. Join us to hear the story of General Francis Tuker, who conceived Operation Strike—ending the North African campaign, capturing 250,000 troops.

Commanding the 4th Indian Division, he pioneered tactics decades ahead of his time, with brilliance comparable to Montgomery's.

Then illness struck at Monte Cassino—robbing history of a commander whose innovations could have shortened the Italian campaign.

Discover this forgotten genius and history's greatest "What if..."


Do come and join us in welcoming Nigel back to Shoreham Fort, where you will find a hot drink waiting for you which included in the price.


Doors will be open from 18:30 for a 19:00 start.
