Dr Brice has given lectures at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and the National Army Museum on Henry Brackenbury and elements of his career, along with other subjects connected with the Victorian British Army. In 2018 he spoke at the Malvern Festival of Military History. In 2018 he also organised the Warfare in the Victorian Age conference on behalf of Helion. He also gave a lecturer at the Victorian Military Society’s annual seminar in 2019. That same year he was elected to the council of the Victorian Military Society. # He is a career historian and his first book, a biography of General Sir Henry Brackenbury entitled The Thinking Man’s Soldier, was published in January 2013. His second book, a biography of Field Marshal Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough, entitled Brave as a Lion, was published in 2017. He is working on numerous others books at present, in combination with his work for Helion as a Series editor.
