Join us for The Carton de Wiart Society Dinner at The Oratory School on Friday 19 April. We are delighted to welcome Old Oratorian Lt Col Philip Nathan OBE (OS1985-1990) as our Guest Speaker for the evening.
The Carton de Wiart Society is named after our most highly decorated Old Oratorian, Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart VC (OS 1891-8) KBE, CB, CMG, DSO - alongside his Polish, Belgian and French honours. Described in a BBC article in 2015 as ‘the unkillable soldier’, Carton de Wiart fought in the Boer War, in WWI and was awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain’s highest award for bravery in battle, for his actions at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
The evening will begin with a reception at 7.30pm followed by dinner at 8pm. The dress code is 'Black Tie with Miniatures'.
If you would like to attend, please RSVP here along with your dietary requirements or email community@oratory.co.uk
Please note, as places are strictly limited early booking is advisable.
I hope you will be able to join us in celebrating The Oratory’s military past, present and future.
