PPP is pleased to announce that it is now five years since we began delivering performances, workshops for schools and guiding Battlefield tours in liaison with Time Travel Education.
Although winter may be quite harsh in some areas, it hasn’t seen a freezing over of quality hands on workshops for Schools and educational facilities over these cold months.
 
The new scenery was unveiled this January and with it marks a new chapter to the PPP workshops.  In conjunction with Time Travel Education, Virtual Reality workshops can now be booked at  timetraveleducation.co.uk/360-vr/

The first battlefield tour of 2020 has been completed with Studley High School.  A very cold Tyne Cott Cemetery was one of the locations visited over the three-day period.  It was also the chance to deliver a WW1 mining presentation at Hill 60 and reveal the new props which allow students to enjoy the unique hands on approach to learning which PPP prides itself on.

An Eventful October

​Parsons Period Presentations (PPP) has been enjoying a particularly eventful October.
Firstly, as the historical advisor to an MOD ran WW2 battlefield study of Southern Italy. Guiding from the beaches of Paestrum (South of Salerno), up to the Monastery of Monte Cassino over a period of five days

Monte Cassino

As can be seen in these pictures, the tour was a great success.
Picture
It began in mid-September with a study day, that saw the usual PPP hands on history approach for all those taking part.
Picture
​In addition to the above tour Parsons Period Presentations have been involved in reviewing and marketing the following books:
Firstly “Soldier On”.
www.amazon.co.uk/Soldier-Personal-Experiences-Crewman-Lancers/dp/1782825479

This is the personal account of Sam Knowles, a tank crewman of the 16th/5th Lancers during the Italian Campaign of World War Two.  This is a particularly useful primary resource account, from a Soldier’s perspective of the Battles around Monte Cassino.
Picture
Secondly “Her Heart of Survival and Hope”
Picture
The author of this work is a young lady who served with me on Operations ten years ago.  It tells the story of a young veteran of conflict that suffers domestic abuse.
www.amazon.co.uk/Her-Heart-Survival-Hope-Domestic/dp/1973137909/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509542411&sr=8-1&keywords=Her+Heart+of+Survival+and+Hope
