He has a passion for military history which he combines with his own military experiences when working as a battlefield guide. He strives to place his audience on the field of battle with enough insight to understand the realities of battle, while helping them to imagine what the soldiers of the day saw and felt. This focus allows the listener to look at the battle from the inside out; this is of course every battlefield guides aim. The campaigns of Welling
