Accompanying the forthcoming release of Sherwood Boys: Biography of a Battalion, Michael Somerville’s talk provides a unique view on the British army through the lens of a single battalion.

 Hear the story of how the 2/5th Sherwood Foresters, a Territorial battalion, developed during the Second World War from a group of untrained young men from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire into a hardened unit of veterans from every corner of Britain, capable of facing, and beating, he might of the Wehrmacht.
