Historical Advice
We have been fortunate enough to have given historical advice on some excellent film, television and theatre projects.
Using our extensive library of original training manuals, we have trained actors and extras and taught them the intricacies of Foot and Rifle Drill - which, contrary to popular belief, varies considerably between Boer War, Great War, Second World War and Post War periods.
We take pride in the fact that we have been able to give enough help, in many productions, to make actors look like real soldiers instead of actors pretending to be soldiers.
However, we do understand that, at the end of the day, you are making a piece of entertainment and that sometimes there has to be an element of compromise.
Alongside our commitment to historical accuracy is our dedication to the original soldiers who did the job for real. Making sure that their memory is preserved with the utmost respect is also very high in our priorities.
Our knowledge and expertise is often in demand and Taff has been interviewed on many programmes such as World War One in Colour, The Christmas Truce, Blue Peter, Richard and Judy, Channel 5's Gallipoli, Time Flyers and was flown to Washington DC for an interview about the Christmas Truce for the History Channel in the USA. He is also often a guest on Radio 4's 'Questions Questions', Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Suffolk, BBCWM, and BBC Radio Wales.
