• Burma'da Chindit birliklerinde görev yapan büyük babanın aile araştırması
• On dokuzuncu yüzyıl Etiyopya imparatoru
• Dünyanın en eski yazı sistemi

Nicholas's great-grandfather served with the Chindits in Burma, a force that rarely appears in accounts of the Second World War. Beginning with his own family research, and taking in a nineteenth-century Ethiopian emperor and the world's oldest writing system, he makes a case for the parts of history that sit behind the famous names and dates. Nicholas is a Year 10 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon. He enjoys all his academic subjects, but is particularly passionate about History and Classics. Alongside his academic studies, he is a keen musician. He is a member of the English Schools Orchestra and principal horn in the Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra. At school, he enjoys debating, hockey, tennis, and reading club. In his free time, he likes Lego and reading books about history. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
