Tim Stoneman
Tim Stoneman - Maritime Historian And Guide. tjstoneman@dsl.pipex.com Tim has guided tours to battlefields and remembrance sites since 2008, leading groups of veterans, schools parties, serving military and the general public to widen understanding of the meaning and realities of conflict, in both present-day and historical contexts. Before this, he served in the Royal Navy, for 35 years, when he took part in several historical studies as the maritime expert. These helped broaden his life-long interest in naval history to encompass land and air campaigns of the 20th century.
Whilst preferring to look at battles with a nautical or amphibious flavour, such as Gallipoli, Dunkirk or Normandy, he is equally at home covering actions on the Somme, in Flanders, or other land-locked regions. Some have interests nearer to home; Tim has also led students, civilians and servicemen on visits to memorials, museums and historic sites in the UK, such as those in London and Portsmouth.
