Martin Cooper is a retired Royal Artillery Regimental Colonel. 

Martin will be talking about the life of the Reverend Theodore Hardy, who was a priest at Hutton Roof in the Lake District and aged 51 when war broke out. He ultimately became a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross, making him one of the most decorated non-combatants of the First World War. Who was this man and what did he do to deserve such honours?
