The Lone Rat
‘Keeping desert history alive’
I am an 8th Army enthusiast, paying homage to my father and his fellow
Desert Rats, who fought the Axis forces in North Africa in 1940-1943.
I work with various Living History Groups. My own display is a representation of a western desert camp with a wealth desert collectables, desert critters, period tents, fake rocks and a 1943 LRDG Willys jeep. But sometimes I am with a considerable number of other re-enactors and desert vehicles. We all love chatting and giving talks to school groups and societies. I have also been a tour guide for
a group on the battlefields of El Alamein for an 80th anniversary tour.
My YouTube channel has collections of various veterans' first hand stories.
