Change of topic - the talk about the Victoria Cross is replaced by a talk "QUAKERS AT WAR" by Frances Hurd

In 1947 the work of Quakers (Society of Friends) during the Second World War was recognised with the Nobel Peace Prize. Why did they receive it? What have Quakers done to help combatants and civilians during wartime, and when did they start doing it? And who are the Quakers, anyway? This illustrated talk by Frances Hurd looks at how over the centuries the Quakers' belief in equality, toleration and peace has faced challenges during various wars and other humanitarian challenges.
