At the moment they tend to be focussed on the First World War, but if you are after a specific topic and you can give enough notice we may be able to tailor a talk for your needs.
All talks given by volunteers are by private arrangement between the group and the speaker; the Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum is happy to put you both in touch with each other, but after that will step back from any other administrative or contractual arrangement.
