I have recently begun reading ‘The Memoirs of Field-Marshal Montgomery’ and must admit I am finding it a very interesting read. People may not agree with Monty’s decisions or style but he sure did speak his mind. I am barely 100 pages in (I haven’t even read about El-Alamein yet) and have already read a few interesting things. Some of which link to a program I watched this morning. It is called ‘My family at War’ and this episode looked at Dan Snow and Natalie Cassidy’s families’ involvement in the First World War. This first aired about 3 years ago but this was the first time I’ve seen it. I was very interested in Dan Snows experience because his great-grandfather was a Divisional and later a Corp Commander in the conflict.
