Furthermore, he was born into a family that had already lost members to the Great War; his mother’s brother had been captured in March 1918, and the other brother had died from wounds sustained while serving in the 4/Lincoln.
Nevertheless, he completed national service and was a 2nd Lieutenant in the RASC after graduating from high school.
Meanwhile, he later started an egg business and in the late 1960s, he began visiting the battlefields of the First World War.
This led to him writing his seminal book “The First Day on the Somme”, which was published in 1971 and is widely regarded as a seminal account of the ‘blackest day in the history of the British army’.
Along with writing many other pieces about significant events in the First and Second World Wars, he was made a Knight of the Order of the Belgian Crown in 2004.
