I was 17 years old. I had a fairly quiet life, reading books and writing letters and never meeting too many other people with similar interests, until the Internet came along. When not visiting the battlefields I enjoy writing about them, although time is limited, and so I usually write relatively short pieces, which have been published both on the Internet and in magazines. Shortly after visiting the Somme Battlefields at Easter 1996, I wrote a Somme Diary in seven parts, which was published on the World War I Document Archive Website. I guide school parties around the battlefields of Northern France and Belgium, conduct small-group adult tours and do whatever Great War related work comes along.
