A PROFESSOR is due to visit Carlisle's Museum of Military Life for their next talk entitled The Territorial Army in the Second World War.
Professor Gary Sheffield is one of Britain's foremost military historians. He specialises in Britain at war and is the author of a number of acclaimed histories.
With the outbreak of WWII, the territorial army provided the main reinforcement to the regular army and was formally absorbed into the British Army on September 1, 1939 as war was imminent.
Professor Sheffield currently holds the chair of war studies at the University of Birmingham and was formerly Land Warfare Historian on the Higher Command and Staff Course at the Joint Services Staff College.
The talk at the museum in Carlisle Castle is due to take place on Tuesday at 6.30pm.
