Langford Budville - Lunch and Talk by Dr Barbara Bond
Langford Budville - Lunch and Talk by Dr Barbara Bond
MI9 was created in September 1939 to facilitate the escape of British prisoners of war, establishing contact with them in their camps through coded correspondence, and smuggling in escape materials. After a career spent in the Ministry of Defence as a cartographic researcher, latterly at the Hydrographic Office in Taunton where she was Deputy Chief Executive, Dr Bond completed her thesis in 2014, which was subsequently published as the book on which her talk is based.
Drinks can be purchased at the bar prior to lunch at 13.00. We aim to start Dr Bond's presentation soon after 14:00.
Following the lunch we will have a talk from Dr Barbara Bond MBE PhD HonDSc FRGS whose subject is: “Great Escapes: - the story of MI9’s escape and evasion mapping programme in WWII”.
