@adventurethroughhistory: Jack Baskeyfield was 21 year old Butcher from Stoke. He found himself during WW2 fighting in the Battle of Arnhem. He was awarded a Victoria Cross for his actions there. He took on German Tiger tanks 100 metres away from him. Alone and wounded he kept firing to hold his position. He was later killed. Remember him. #historytok #stoke #ww2history #victoriacross #bravery

You do such a wonderful job telling their stories. Myself and my 6 year old son watch your videos, he knows his great grandfather fought in the war as a rear gunner. As a WW2 "geek" I will never stop teaching him and we mustn't forget but your videos are interesting and so thoughtful, thank you from us both
