Looking at military history from the Civil War to the Second World War. Serious studies (Winceby and the Battle) to personal memories (Crimson Skies, Saturday Night Soldiers and All the King’s Enemies). Covering battles in Syria, Burma and closer to home in Europe such as Dunkirk. Our latest publication of ‘A Town Remembers’ gives recognition to all those who gave their lives in either the First or Second World Wars but who, for a wide variety of reasons, did not have their names put forward to be engraved on the Boston Cenotaph.
