Military Animals

As the Royal Navy and the Army travelled around the world they made connections with people of all nations and made connections with a surprising number of animals from around the world.

Pop along to this session and enjoy a running on-screen presentation and also a tabletop activity to learn about which animals supported soldiers and sailors and which were a problem for the Royal Navy!

Mike Williams, author & speaker, will regale you with stories of lions, tigers, elephants, and many more animals of the Royal Navy. The Navy even had its own Zoo!

Booking for 2 hr drop-in slot but we estimate you may fully enjoy this event within 45 minutes.
