A MUSEUM will host a lecture all about the exploits of a remarkable Second World War soldier.
Lieutenant Mike Sinclair, known as 'The Red Fox of Colditz', was captured at Calais in 1940 and killed at the castle in 1941 - during his ninth escape attempt.
He spent more time free in occupied Europe than any other Prisoner of War and was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his 'relentless devotion to escaping whilst a Prisoner of War'.
