Historian, Broadcaster, Educator

One of the UK’s most exciting military historians, Andy Robertshaw reveals what life was like on the frontline of history. Andy provides a unique, interactive illustration of military life for groups of all ages. He is a world-renowned expert on the First World War, and on trench warfare and medicine in the trenches, in particular.   He is currently working on the Hawthorne Ridge Crater project, @HawthorneRidgeCA ( see Archaeology page for more details). With the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War on the horizon, Andy can also offer talks on and battlefield guides to key areas of the world’s second global conflict.

“Your talk on the Battle of the Somme from a different perspective was both thought-provoking and stimulating. The whole audience was gripped by your delivery , and you managed to pack in so much information in a limited period of time to great effect.”
