The financial costs of US and British wars in the Middle East since the beginning of this century have been well documented. The personal costs to the soldiers who took part and to their families, friends and neighbours are often less noticed. This is an opportunity to hear and talk to war veterans about their experiences and how we might learn to fight for peace.
