TV legal chap. First World War MA (Wolverhampton MAfia) and PhD candidate. Studying the performance of 6 BEF divisions on the Western Front 1917-1918. It’ll be mostly that on here, just so you know. Plus some general nonsense. And a bit of the Chels too.

Goodness, lots of new followers. I’d best do one of those intro posts.

Verdun in 5 minutes.
Insanely hard to condense the longest battle of WWI into a short video, but here’s my first attempt.
300 days and 300 nights
