Jim Smithson

After an initial couple of years teaching in West Yorkshire, Jim Smithson moved to Germany to teach in the British Forces' schools there. He has always had a keen interest in military history, visiting the battlefields of the First and Second World Wars as much as possible. Working as a battlefield afficher plus guide on the Western Front has allowed Jim to share his enthusiasm with others, something he loves doing. He has an appetite for primary research and the fluency to be able to do it in both English and German, resulting in a deep knowledge and understanding of the First World War from both sides of the wire. afficher moins
