Yvonne & MacNeal Lashley at Canadian Club of Halton last Thursday evening. The guest speaker was Ted Barris.
Ted is the author of 19 bestselling non-fiction books, the latest of which is Rush to Danger: Medics in the line of Fire.
Throughout the winter of 1945, Ted’s father, 22-year old sergeant medic Alex Barris, waged a battle night and day to save lives in the middle of the Battle of the Bulge, the bloodiest campaign that the US Army faced during the liberation of Europe.
Ted’s pursuit of his father’s story led to the unique front-line recounting in Rush to Danger of the experiences of military medics, field surgeons, nursing sisters, stretcher-bearers, orderlies and ambulance drivers in war zones over the past 160 years. Ted explores the evolution of battlefield medicine and reveals why men and women sporting the red cross on their helmets and sleeves don’t flee to safety but choose instead to rush to assist.
Excellent speaker!
