It has been a pleasure to be involved in a small way with a group of Spanish students at Ramon Muntaner High School in Figueres, Catalonia, in their research on Brigadier Reg Miles for a podcast. With their English language teacher Anna Llobet I Agustí and her colleague Joan Manuel Soldevilla, they premiered their podcast at the Ceba Negra true crime festival in Figueres in March. It was very warmly received. My congratulations to them!
They now feel they would like to pay some sort of tribute to Brigadier Miles. With support from the local Town Hall and the director of the Catalonian Toy Museum, formerly Hotel Paris, they are organising an event to honour his life and career with a display and a memorial plaque. This is to take place in the room where Miles died on 21 October, marking the 80th anniversary of his death on 20 October 1943.
