Great follow up to Al Murray with young George. Awesome to see the passing of the torch to the next generation of preservers of history!!🎉

[@davidk7324]

Well done George. Thank you Paul for keeping an eye out for excellent historians to highlight their work and promise with your community. Especially the next generation who will provide new research and perspectives moving forward.

Excellent presentation by George

[@cherylbell1253]

Wow! Great job George! Very interesting talk. Thanks Paul & George.

[@davidlavigne207]

Wonderfully presented and well researched. George helped us understand what Arnhem was like for the 10th Parachute Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment in a scholarly and sentimental way. He has honored those soldiers brilliantly. I hope all the best for his future project and look forward to its completion. Had George and I been contemporaries when I was his age, I'm sure we would have been good friends as we discussed history. I'm glad to see that not all of his generation have discarded what happened in the past.

[@garyaugust1953]

As mentioned, the future of History is in good hands with George. Top presentation beyond his years.

[@timstradling7764]

George, your research and knowledge gained are amazing. Well done, great presentation! Thank you Paul for bringing such an erudite young speaker to us.

[@georgecooksey8216]

Excellent presentation and discussion. Thanks Paul and George.

[@susanyu6507]

George has a passion for history I wish everyone had. I worry that we no longer remember the cost of war - the hundreds of thousands who died. That we have not found the answers to peace; how to prevent war. I hope people like George can solve these dilemmas. Looking forward to where you go next George.

[@mikemerritt1443]

Great presentation George, Fantastic to see a young historian to go into such detail. Carry on George, Looking forward to future presentations.

[@ladydunraven]

well what a talk - this is amazing - George you are a star!! I remember you from We Have Ways Fest 2024 you blew the audience away with your insights, delivery and confidence. Thank you for doing this talk and PLEASE Woody can we have him back ?

[@timbrown1481]

George has set a very high bar for young historians of his generation and future generations. Well done young man!

[@reddustdiecastmodelrail1499]

Great presentation ! Thanks ! Cheers from Holland !

[@bruceday6799]

2 great presentations and presenters today sir!

[@timbrown1481]

Proves so much of Arnhem history - barely scratching the surface. Keep on keeping on young man!

[@DanielHammersley]

Spot on! Great job young Master Hoad! Learned some more of the woods battle & the 10th! Thanks again, both of you! :)

[@KevinJones-yh2jb]

Just watching George’s presentation, he certainly knows his stuff, such a great presentation, so good to have a young presenter/ historian. Woody great thanks to you to get and give a younger person a platform on this fine top notch channel. Thank you both

[@DaveGordon-up5ln]

Super presentation thanks George & Paul!

[@TomMullen-hn7wc]

Well done George! He is a very impressive young man. Tom Mullen

[@therealuncleowen2588]

One could assume George has a passion for the subject by the fact that he's spent so much time researching it. Then as he was telling the VC story and his voice caught with emotion, well that confirmed it. Excellent talk.

[@nonofinn7136]

A friend of mine (Canadian) showed me a Bren gun brought back from the war. (Don't ask me how it got back, it shocked me) and he told the story that his father said they had actually jammed the thing and left it to shoot randomly to keep an area clear for moving actions. Crazy! What a piece of equipment. Wonderful guest, love the young blood moving in to this area of history. Interesting, too! Love to hear about Sussex, Mum was a War Bride from Brighton. :)

[@ruudsgs]

Excellent!!

[@cameronsimpson-ld8nk]

Brilliant George loved it.

[@michaelmanning5379]

Good job. As an aside, George has a remarkable resemblance to a young Jerry O'Connell.

My relative Lieutenant William Burgess was in the 10th and was killed on the 21st September 1944 in and around the Schonoord crossroads. His best mate and drinking buddy was Captain Queripal. I visit his grave 3 times a year and we have a 10th Battalion Memorial Service at the Marker around 2pm after the Remembrance Service at Oosterbeek War Cemetery each year.

[@WW2TV]

Thanks for sharing that

[@cameronsimpson-ld8nk]

Quite a challenge researching without a war diary as a hand rail to navigate through their journey.

[@cameronsimpson-ld8nk]

Just listening to this for the second time

[@MichaelCampin]

I've got a book or two about the Suez crisis if they are any help at all.
