Armistice Address 2025

On Thursday 6 November 2025, we are hosting our Armistice Address at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).

This year leading war correspondent Jane Corbin will be in conversation with three women veterans to hear about their personal experiences in the military and how it shaped their lives beyond service. Together they will provide a unique insight into the rewards and challenges life in the British Armed Forces can bring.  They will also be joined by Dr Vicky Aldridge at Combat Stress, providing expert insight on the recovery from military trauma.

Army veteran Gemma Morgan: The first woman to be awarded the Carmen Sword for best young officer in the Royal Logistic Corps, Commodore Carolyn Stait CBE: The first woman to command a Naval Base in Britain, no woman held a higher rank in the Royal Navy until 2015 and RAF veteran Liz McConaghy: The youngest aircrew member to deploy to Iraq followed by ten tours to Afghanistan.
