More Information (Salisbury Radio is not responsible for external websites)

For decades Damien Lewis was a leading war correspondent and filmmaker, winning multiple awards for his work in the world’s major conflict zones. But he is best known today for his multimillion selling, wildly loved histories of WWII – including The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which recently became a blockbuster Guy Richie movie, and other modern classics including SAS Great Escapes and SAS Brothers in Arms.

Now he joins us live on stage to reveal the story of SAS Captain Lewis ‘Archie’ Gibson: a tale of true grit, duty, and undying brotherhood, laced with humility and humour. Working from Gibson’s sketchbooks, wartime reports, and his own unpublished firsthand account, Damien will introduce us to a man who became known as the SAS’s “Pirate of the Desert” for his daring and audacious missions in North Africa, where he saved the life of SAS founder David Sterling; and he will take us behind enemy lines into occupied Yugoslavia where Archie and his men wreak havoc on the nazi war machine.

Don’t miss this thrilling night with one of the greatest military storytellers of our time.
