I should tell you all about me:

Maurice Head is a Freelance Writer, covering many different forms of wording; be they novels, tour books, security reports, training courses, or operating manuals. He is also a published Military historian who thoroughly enjoys passing his knowledge of the Battlefields to those who need to know, Veterans, children, and many adults. He recognises the importance of passing the correct information out to the greater population, and more importantly, the ancestors of the brave people who fought for our freedom.
Maurice was admitted to the degree of Master of Science in Security and Risk Management in January 2015; he is recognised both academically and operationally. He is highly motivated, innovative, and shows determination and drive in all he undertakes. Furthermore, he displays a high level of personal and team achievement within the security and risk management arena. With over 35 years of experience in the security field, Maurice is an all-round security specialist and is available to assist in assessing, planning, and implementing cost-effective, tailor-made solutions.

Maurice began his time with the Royal British Legion’s Remembrance Travel Tours in May 2018, as a tour medic. He was required to ensure the Veterans, from World War 2, remained in a healthy state until they arrived home. During his first tour, he had a call to his room, early in the morning, the daughter of a Veteran was concerned about her father. He went to the room immediately; Bill looked like he was struggling with anxiety. Maurice asked the daughter to make a cup of tea for ten minutes so that he could be alone with Bill. After carrying out basic medical checks and chatting to Bill, it turned out he was worried about the morning’s visit to Sword Beach. Bill hadn’t been there since the 6th June 1944, when he stepped of the landing craft to face the heavily armed enemy. Maurice’s response was that of a true British Soldier, the medication he administered was a big Military hug. As the colour started to return to Bills face, together with his magic smile, Maurice told him that he would be by his side all morning. M

*VIRTUAL TOUR - The Somme Offensive Continued* The Sheffield Pals and the Battle Of Serre, 1st July 1916

Image
THE SHEFFIELD PALS AND THE BATTLE OF SERRE On Saturday 24th June, the British Artillery opened a bombardment that, over a five-day period, was intended to destroy the German defences. Each night the Battalion sent out raiding and wire-examining parties; worryingly, the German wire was found to be uncut. On the 28th June, word was received that the attack would be postponed for two days because of the poor weather. The new time for the start of the offensive was 07:30hrs on Saturday the 1st July 1916. The day before the Offensive began badly, with the news that Lt-Col. Crosthwaite was seriously ill, requiring his hurried replacement by Major Plackett. At 03:45hrs on the 1st July, the Battalion was in position in the assembly trenches, finding them already in a terrible condition from German shellfire. Patrols from the fourth and seventh Companies of the 169th (8th Baden) Infantry Regiment defending Serre noted the build-up. With the appearance of daylight at 04:05hrs, Ge...

THE GREAT WAR *VIRTUAL TOUR*

Image
HOW DID THE GREAT WAR BEGIN It is a fact that history is written by the Victors of War!  Archduke Ferdinand On The Day Of The Attack Historians and Leaders alike have, for all time, exaggerated and manipulated the facts of Military Conflicts in order to glorify their own Country. As a result, the public has been misled into believing it was Germany who was to blame for the Great War of 1914 to 1918. Following extensive research, it has been proven that Germany, although they had trained for many years in a Niederwerfung Strategie (Swift and decisive strategy of annihilation), was not to blame for the outbreak of World War One. In fact, the German Military acted in retaliation to Russian and French invasions; thereby, mobilising its Armies in defence of its Ally, and its own borders from Military Forces who were trying to occupying their land.  Archduke Ferdinand Historians would argue that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, by Gavrilo Princip, part of ...

*VIRTUAL TOUR - The Somme Offensive Continued* Fricourt German Cemetery

Image
Fricourt German War Cemetery The Fricourt German War Cemetery was established in 1920, by the French Military Authorities, and concentrates the burials from 79 communes in the regions around Bethune, Albert, Combles, Ancre Valley, and Villers-Bretonneux. Most of the fallen were members of the Imperial German Second Army. Of the 17,000 burials, about 1,000 died in the autumn of 1914 and the ensuing trench warfare; about 10,000 during the Somme Offensive; the final 6,000 in the Spring Offensive of 1918 and the ensuing Allied counterattack, the 100 Days Offensive. In 1929, the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge (VDK) started working on the German Military grave registration service and landscaping the Cemetery. It received a new entrance with stairs, and wrought-iron gate and trees and bushes were planted. The community graves got a verge made of natural stone and a planting with game roses. A high wooden cross served as a central mark; however, the problem of a dur...
