  • 1 hour

Secret Agent, Unsung Hero: The valour of Bruce Dowding by Peter Dowding and Ken Spillman details the heroic efforts of young Australian teacher Bruce Dowding, who helped exfiltrate hundreds of allied servicemen from Nazi-occupied France during World War II before his tragic demise.

Please note that members are responsible for sourcing their own books before each session. We have partnered with local bookstore Typeface Books in Applecross, who are generously giving club members 10% off book club purchases. Melville Libraries also have limited copies of each book. This event will take place inside the Wireless Hill Museum with refreshments, small bites and discussion prompts provided.

To attend this meeting please register, purchase, and read ahead of Wednesday, 3 July.

Peter Dowding also will be joining us at the museum on Wednesday, 24 July for Pages and Perspectives: History Speaks.
