Born to a soldier father who
served as a gunner with 51st Highland Division,
Trevor's up bringing was typically itinerant. Life on an army
base in West Germany was followed by emigration to Canada. On
the death there of his father, his family returned to the UK.
His secondary school years were spent at the local grammar
school in West Bromwich. He attended his first Baggies game in
the 1959-60 season and has since found the habit hard to break.
Trevor's first visit to the
battlefields of France and Flanders was in 1980. It has since
become another habit. Trevor was one of the initial cohort of
students of the Centre's MA programme graduating in 2006. His
dissertation explored the circumstances surrounding Sir Arthur
Currie's performance in the summer of 1917 in preparation for
the Battle of Hill 70, Currie's first battle in his role as GOC
Canadian Corps. Now retired, Trevor is able, at least in theory,
to devote more of his time to his PhD research interest in the
development and performance of the Canadian Corps, and in
particular the staff of the Corps, and the degree to which this
was attributable to, or influenced by, the British Army in its
various facets.
