‘The perceived failure of Gough’s 5th Army against the German Spring Offensive of 1918’ by Ian Langworthy
Ian has had a lifelong interest in history generally and military history in particular. During a 40 year career as a solicitor he organised and led, with his brother, many tours for friends and family to the battlefields of Western Europe. As he came up to retirement, he decided that he wanted to continue guiding on a formal basis. He obtained an MA in military history from the University of Buckingham, joined the Guild of Battlefield Guides and having completed the Guilds’ course for Accreditation is now the proud holder of Badge 101. He is a freelance guide and has experience in researching for and guiding a variety of groups to western European battlefields of various eras. He also has a keen interest in Romano-British history, British history generally and the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War in particular.
