CUSTER ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN

Although for 18 months we had planned that our next gathering would take place on Saturday, 6 November 2021 at the National Motorcycle Museum in Bickenhill, Solihull, near Birmingham, to celebrate our belated 20th and 21st anniversaries, we eventually met on Saturday, 11 June 2022 in a Conference Room called The Crow's Nest.

 

The venue for our Gathering in 2023 is still being worked on and will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Hook of Rorke's Drift: The Life of Henry Hook V.C.

Barry C. Johnson, is well-known within the English Westerners' Society for his outstanding biographical works on the lives of people who made their mark in the American West but here he provides a fascinating account of the life of Henry Hook whose participation at the battle of Rorke's Drift, where he was awarded his V.C. for his gallant conduct, was made famous in the film Zulu.  This book tells the real story of the life of this Gloucestershire born working man.
