The Authors and Talks



Andrew Hamilton retired in 1989 from teaching History at schools in Hereford and Worcester.

He turned a restored working watermill into a popular tourist attraction in Warwickshire which he managed until 2004. He is involved with the management of the Walton Estate and is committed to its preservation for future generations.

Inspired by research in Flanders and British museums and archives for Meet at Dawn, Unarmed, he hopes that this will not be his last publication on the Great War.

Alan Reed retired from full-time teaching in Cheshire in 1996 to concentrate on guiding school and adult groups on the Western Front.

His interest in the Great War was inspired by his father who worked for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Northern France.

A fluent French speaker, his vast knowledge of France and Belgium, combined with a detailed appreciation of the region’s history and culture, have been invaluable in research for Meet at Dawn, Unarmed.
