His series of "War Walks" made for BBC became a landmark series , an excellent historian who captured something of the moment, shocked and saddened by news of his untimely death.

Just listening to the late Professor talking on the "Battle of the Somme".......... along with Martin Middlebrook.

Very sad to hear this, his series War walks was superb and all his other work, such a shame.
