He became known as ‘The man who didn’t shoot Hitler’ and was famously immortalised in Matania’s painting of Menin Crossroads: Henry Tandey’s life as a Green Howard was as colourful as his medal group.
With 2024 marking the 110th anniversary of the start of WWI and Menin Crossroads, and the 107th anniversary of the Second Battle of Passchendaele, join us at the museum for a Discovery Day on Private Henry Tandey VC.
There’ll be a talk on Henry’s life with the 2nd, 9th and 12th Battalions, a handling session of contemporary material from the collection, a museum tour and a viewing and handling session of the Tandey medal group, including the VC.
£55 with refreshments included.
Places limited to 15 so book early.
