As anniversary years go, 2014 is set to be a bumper one, particularly if, like me, you’re mad about military history. The centenary of the start of the First World War, the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, the following liberation of Rome and Paris, and the Battle for Arnhem are just a few of the commemorative highlights that we might look back and reflect upon.
