Jack Bowsher

Jack Bowsher has always had a passion for history. His grandfather did his National Service in the late 1940s driving Sexton self-propelled guns, under senior NCOs who were veterans of the Second World War. He passed on the stories of these men, alongside war films, model kits, and visits to historical places. One summer, Jack and his grandfather, inspired by A Bridge too Far, managed to drag the whole family to the Netherlands to drive Hell's Highway from Eindhoven to Arnhem.
Now a teacher, Jack is inspiring another generation of historians as Head of History in a secondary school in Hertfordshire, England.
Alongside this, he recently completed a Military History Masters with Distinction at the University of Wolverhampton.
After the success of his first book Forgotten Armour: Tank Warfare in Burma, Jack has been elected to be an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and has started The Forgotten War Podcast: Burma Campaign WW2 with Dr Robert Lyman MBE.
