Each year at SGWT, we like to launch our own advent calendar, with a historical twist of course!

Previously behind each door, we have revealed a military object and described its use. We have also looked into special battlefield locations, pertinent to each of our guides.

This year, each day in the run up to Christmas we will look at the life of a key historical figure, some you may not have heard of.

We have chosen men and women that have done something amazing to serve and save others.

Do follow along - we hope you enjoy and learn something on the way.

Sophie & the team.
