As an American and lover of history, I came upon "War Walks" just a year ago. I cannot believe I had never seen it before. Watching it from the very beginning, I was given the great feeling of understanding battles which were key and grew more and more excited about episodes which were already upcoming and the job that Professor Richard Holmes would be doing on further battles not yet done and beyond just those involving England like Verdun, Tannenberg, Austerlitz, Monte Cassino, Gettysburg, Stalingrad, etc.
When I researched Professor Holmes and saw that he had passed away years earlier, I was absolutely devastated. His approach to the battles, on their sites and with his knowledge of them, was unmatched in anything I have ever seen. RIP Mr. Richard Holmes and here is to the hope that someone picks up and carries on with a "War Walks" style of presentation with even half of the skill and quality you brought forth.
