The visit on Friday the 4th of October 2024 by Gary Sheffield the renowned author and military academic who is now President of the Western Front association, was Andy Milton’s chance to show off our museum.
Gary was very impressed with the museum and has offered to come and give a talks in the future on specialised subject Sir Douglas Haig (late 7th Queen’s Own Hussars).
In 2013 Gary was appointed professor of War Studies at the University of Wolverhampton. In 2011 he published his second book on Field Marshal the Earl Douglas Haig, The Chief: Douglas Haig and the British Army (Aurum Press, 2011). Reviewing the book in The Daily Telegraph the historian Nigel Jones commented on its ‘solid scholarship and admirable advocacy’.
We look forward to Gary’s next visit and will advertise in advance.
