About the Speaker

Major Ted Green dedicated much of his adult life to the Staffordshire Regiment, culminating his career as the Regimental Secretary and Museum Curator at Whittington Barracks in Lichfield. After retiring in 2002, he continued his involvement as a Museum Volunteer. His connection to the Somme Battlefields began in 1966 when, as an officer cadet at RMA Sandhurst, he attended the 50th anniversary. In 2006, he started giving lectures on the subject for the 90th anniversary. Since then, he has visited all the major battlefields on the Western Front and delivered talks about many of them.
