A former partner of a major law firm, he later channeled his strategic skills into leadership, spending years at the helm of a regional non-profit based in Singapore.His true passion, however, is history. For over two decades, Singapore was his home, a base from which he worked and travelled extensively throughout East Asia. This deep regional immersion, combined with a lifelong fascination ignited by firsthand wartime stories from his father's generation, informs his engaging and authoritative storytelling.In his debut novel, he has managed to connect it to the places and people he knows intimately. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/5a4f1ad0-9a20-11f0-9676-41bc27d506f8-rimg-w484-h740-dc171617-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/sydney/military-history-talk-with-author-peter-mitchell/100001439969861619 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, theatre, remembrance-day, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com.au%2Fe%2Fmilitary-history-talk-with-author-peter-mitchell-tickets-1439969861619 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 11.9, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Sydney - **state**: NS - **country**: Australia - **location**: Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts - **lat**: -33.874151 - **long**: 151.208264 - **full address**: Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts, 280 Pitt Street, Sydney, Australia ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (SMSA) (https://allevents.in/org/sydney-mechanics-school-of-arts-smsa/22810758) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1c637f7dda324af80a032e2cb6944d3b876421aee1736efcdcd3061a9bee3fc1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc191a16-gmir.jpg?v=1758880598 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a8ff9302d39a0a0ad5c706f02ae257986191116fa48d422d4a4138f40ada64f3-rimg-w400-h400-dc181819-gmir.jpg?v=1758880598 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Tue, 11 Nov, 2025 at 12:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts, 280 Pitt Street, Sydney, Australia - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 11.9 AUD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (SMSA) - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, theatre, remembrance-day, storytelling - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Military History Talk with author Peter Mitchell ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Military History Talk with author Peter Mitchell", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1c637f7dda324af80a032e2cb6944d3b876421aee1736efcdcd3061a9bee3fc1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc191a16-gmir.jpg?v=1758880598", "startDate": "2025-11-11", "endDate": "2025-11-11", "url": "https://allevents.in/sydney/military-history-talk-with-author-peter-mitchell/100001439969861619", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "280 Pitt Street", "postalCode": "2000", "addressLocality": "Sydney", "addressRegion": "NS", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-33.874151", "longitude": "151.208264" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A talk for the history buffs and literature lovers; join Peter Mitchell as he shares the stories that shaped \"Under the Same Moon\"", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-11", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "11.90", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/sydney/military-history-talk-with-author-peter-mitchell/100001439969861619" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/sydney/military-history-talk-with-author-peter-mitchell/100001439969861619", "price": 0, "name": "SMSA Members" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "AUD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/sydney/military-history-talk-with-author-peter-mitchell/100001439969861619", "price": "11.90", "name": "Friends & Non Members" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Sydney Mechanics School of Arts (SMSA)", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/sydney-mechanics-school-of-arts-smsa/22810758", "description": "Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (SMSA)Since 1833, the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts has served Sydney's community, connecting its members with literature, science and the arts.
