MEMBERS of Bexhill Hanoverian Study Group will receive a talk on the organisational structure of the King's German Legion at their meeting at St Peter's Community Centre on Wednesday at 7.30pm.
The speaker is Roderick McArthur, who retired in 1992 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel after a 30-year Army career.
