Commandos at War

Daniel Taylor has studied 20th Century warfare for over thirty years. The recording and commemoration of the actions of soldiers during an era of global conflict remains been his passion. Now that the veterans of those wars have all but disappeared, his ambition is to represent their stories to inspire and inform younger generations. After serving in the Territorial Army during the 1980s and 90s, he started writing articles for specialist magazines and lecturing on military history, including venues such as RMA Sandhurst, the National Army Museum, and the Tank Museum, also appearing in and presenting TV documentaries. In recent years Daniel has become the Curator for the Kent & Sharpshooters Yeomanry Museum, based at Hever Castle in Kent. He continues to lead battlefield tours to the original locations to help better explain their significance for schools, various units of the British Army, and groups of veterans (and members of their families), retracing the footsteps of the past. Whilst specialising in Normandy, he has led tour so the Western Front, Italy, Libya and Egypt.He now lives in Kent, is married, and has two sons.
