An academic plans to support soldiers<\/a> serving in the armed forces by focusing on the actions undertaken by some of their predecessors.<\/p>\n

Rob Caskie is heading to Durham Cathedral on June 16th to carry out a one-off lecture, the Durham Times reports.<\/p>\n

He will discuss the defence of Rorke's Drift, which the publication describes as one of the country's "most celebrated military actions".<\/p>\n

Mr Caskie is stopping at the city on his lecture tour that concentrates on the Zulu wars and plans to raise funds for Help for Heroes in the process.<\/p>\n

His feat is sponsored by financial services firm Brewin Dolphin and Nick Hood, senior independent non-executive director, said: "We hope the audience will thoroughly enjoy these talks but also that these events will increase people's awareness and knowledge of Help for Heroes."<\/p>\n

The tour will also call at Cutlers' Hall in Sheffield, Belvoir Castle in Grantham and The Merchants' Hall in Edinburgh, along with a number of other destinations.<\/p>\n
