Rotary Club Knights Pendragon recently had the pleasure of welcoming 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 as a guest speaker.
Commissioned at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1978 into the Royal Corps of Signals, he served for nearly 30 years in military appointments in Europe, Brunei, and South Africa. He worked extensively in major military headquarters, giving him a unique insight into the staff who fight wars at a strategic level. He was also involved in training staff officers in operational leadership and war-gaming to develop and hone their war-fighting tactics at lower levels of command. He retired from military service in 2006 and settled in South Africa to pursue his passion for military history and writing.
Simon shared his interest in South African history and his work as an author, including his books on blockhouses, offering a fascinating glimpse into an important part of our country’s past.
The Blockhouses of the Anglo-Boer War
Away from his writing, Simon is also involved in Body Stress Release, a practice focused on helping the body release stored tension and stress..
Thank you, Simon, for taking the time to share your knowledge and interests with our Club.
It was a pleasure having you join us!
