Last night saw the official opening of A Soldier’s Tale, an exhibition inspired by the stories of British soldiers; real and tragic yet dramatically inspiring.

It is not a manifesto of political views or ideological endorsements but rather, a journey of courage, brotherhood, despair and human endurance. It will run at Asia House, London from 8-20 July 2013. The evening saw a special musical performance led by Bass singer Jihoon Kim of the Royal Opera House, who sang songs from War Horse, as well as famous Korean folk song Arirang. Moving speeches and tributes were made by a number of important guests, including HE Ambassador of the Republic of Korea, Sungnam Lim; MP Choung Byoung-gug, Former Korean Minister for Culture, Sports and Tourism; President of the British Korean Veterans Association (BKVA), Major General GMG Swindells CB and Mishal Husain of the BBC.
