About the event

Soldiers of the Sultan
“Soldiers of the Sultan” – Talk by the author Paul Hodgson

A first-hand account of the Dhofar Insurgency (1971–73) drawn from the author’s original field diaries. Paul Hodgson outlines his service with the Sultan of Oman’s Armoured Car Squadron during one of the Cold War’s least-known conflicts. The talk covers daily life on operations, the realities of leading locally recruited troops, the strategic context of the war, and the harsh conditions faced in Dhofar’s mountains and desert. Using contemporary notes, photographs, and maps, Paul provides an unfiltered view of a secretive campaign and the role played by British loan-service personnel.
