“Leadership is understanding people and involving them to help you do a job” Admiral Arleigh A. Burke (USN)
I hope you look forward to receiving the Kedge Anchor as much as I do. This issue is as ever packed full of fascinating material and interesting stories.
The article about the discovery of Lieutenant Hicks uniform is no exception, since it records one of those rare moments when a fantasy comes true. The 1805 Club’s charitable objects may lead us, quite understandably, to focus on graves, monuments and memorials, but we are also concerned about artifacts from the Georgian age of sail. Therefore to not only discover a unique item but also initiate its conservation is a wonderful landmark for the Club. The minute my eyes rested on this wonderful uniform is a minute that I shall forever remember.
