If you are a historian and have a subject you would like to present, please do get in touch. I am always looking for new guests and content on my YouTube Channel WW2TV
I'm especially looking for Masters/PhD candidates and graduates, and as always more women talking about war stuff!
Anyone able to help Bill out?

Some of our Highland IC lads made a trip along the Normandy coast this week to pay respects to the 51st Highland Division at St Valery. Well done guys.
Why the Cairngorms? In the 60βs two mountain bothies were built on the high plateau, named in honoured memory of the exploits of two of the 51st Highland Divisions notably histories: St Valery and El Alamein.
