The history of the British Isles and her peoples is peppered with a multitude of military actions of varying magnitude and intensity.  From the bloodbaths of the Somme offensives in 1916 to the almost farcical French invasion at Fishguard, Wales in 1797 our forefathers, peers and sons have fought a diversity of battles around the world.

All combatants, through their experiences, are inextricably linked to each other, sharing a common understanding of the sights, smells and sounds of battle that words serve only to dilute.  Whether it is executed by sword, halberd, musket or machine gun, wether it is conveyed on foot, on horse or in tank, combat etches an indelible scar on all of its participants.

It is to these participants, be they Scottish, Irish, Welsh or English, past or present, that this calendar is primarily dedicated.  Their allies and foes are also remembered through their participation.  For few there is glory, for some there is valour, for many there is misery and for all there is horror.  Their individual experiences are not told here but they are remembered through their presence on the battlefields of the world.  From the battered fyrdmen and the housecarles on Senlac Hill to the 'green screen' tankies of Desert Storm their actions are summarised through a calendar year.

The calendar is not intended as a comprehensive chronology of military history.  It is, rather, a snapshot of some of the actions fought by soldiers from all parts of these Isles over the last millennium.  A personal dedication is extended to all my colleagues who served on Operation Corporate in the Falklands 1982, particularly to those who did not come home, but also to those who did.  Yours, Aye.

This is our first calendar for 2007, it is available to purchase through ebay, our website, the Military Press and through various Military Trade Fairs taking place throughout the year.
