Biographies & Autobiographies

In this section you will find military and associated biographies, autobiographies and memoirs from soldiers, sailors, airmen, and civilians involved in all manner of armed conflicts. From Private Soldiers to Field Marshals, working men to International Statesmen, and from the early days of the British Empire up to the modern day.

Memoirs, biographies, and autobiographies are natural centrepieces of war remembrance. Events are fashioned by the individuals involved in them, and these are their versions of events as they saw them.
