RESEARCH INTERESTS
I'm currently researching First World War ambulance trains and their relationship to trauma for my MA dissertation, which is a pilot study for my forthcoming PhD on Traumascapes of the First World War.

I'm a veteran, having served with 3rd Battalion The Rifles, hence my military interest, although I wouldn't necessarily categorise myself as a military historian. My undergraduate degree was in English & History and my MA is in Social History, and I am chiefly concerned with individual experiences.

RESEARCH TAGS
1. Trauma 2. Wounding 3. Casualty Care 4. Disability 5. Rehabilitation
Geographic Interests
Leeds is my hometown and may feature heavily in my research. I'm predominantly focusing on the British Army as opposed to other nations and services.
Period Interests
1914-1918, 1919-1939
