Come join the conversation on the new Centre for Experimental Military Archaeology (CEMA) being developed by Mr. Andy Robertshaw and Mr. Ross Barnwell. This is a new project that promises to bring history not only alive, but interconnected with today's global world.

Mr. Robertshaw is a former teacher turned historian and historical consultant for such films as Peter Jackson's They Shall Not Grow Old and Sam Mendes' recent hit 1917. And he also played a role in Steven Spielberg's film Warhorse, which I did not know about until now!

Ross Barnwell is the creative force behind 8000ft Media, which produced the short film Beaumont-Hamel, named after the infamous village on the 1916 Somme battlefield. The film focused on wartime cinematographer Geoffrey Malins' experiences as he took 8,000ft of frontline footage on the Somme, the most famous of which is the explosion of the Hawthorn Ridge mine on the morning of the 1st of July, 1916.
