Television credits and appearances
'Battleplan: Alamein', BBC, aired 18 October 2002. I was listed as a Historical Consultant, with Peter Stanley and Brigadier John Currie. This program was the first featuring the father and son team of Dan and Peter Snow. Peter Stanley and I gave all our advice from Australia, but knew the battlefield, which we had visited together in 1998, and would visit again in 2002. This excellent program, which features the efforts of the 9th Australian Division, has never been shown on Australian television.
