Jersey Festival of Words
At Jersey Museum
Tickets: £5
Ian Ronayne is a Jersey born historian and author who specialises in military history. His first book, the acclaimed Ours: The Jersey Pals in the First World War, has been followed by several other publications, numerous articles, talks and guided tours. Although Jersey has a rich military history, any glance at the bookshelf reveals modern day literature largely confines itself to 20th century conflict. In this talk, Ian will examine the Island’s wider military history, the books and records that exist today and ask the question: how can we get Jersey’s military history more firmly on the bookshelf?
