Roger Holgate, a retired College Lecturer, has spent much of his life studying warfare in museums and libraries. After being commissioned to write several articles for the history supplement of The South Yorkshire Times, he decided to explore his father’s experiences as a Quartermaster Sergeant in the 9th Battalion of The King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry during the Second World War and to document these memories. The project expanded as he delved deeper into the regiment's activities and uncovered a fascinating and largely unknown story.
