Who is Michael Stedman?

Michael Stedman was born in Salford in 1949 and graduated from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne after which he became a school teacher in Manchester for 24 years. He is married to a doctor, Yvonne, and has two sons who are a prison governor and a doctor. During the 1980s his first book, The Salford Pals, was published, followed in the early 1990s by The Manchester Pals.

He moved to Worcester in 1994, subsequently devoting his time to many projects most of which centre on the Great War's history. Since 1995 he has written numerous books on the history of the Great War including, Thiepval, La Boisselle, Fricourt, Guillemont and Advance to Victory in the Battleground Europe Series as well as Great Battles of the Great War which accompanied a Tyne Tees / ITV series of the same name.

Between 1999 and 2004 he was, along with Peter Simkins, one of the historical advisors to the Thiepval Project whose visitor centre opened during the autumn of 2004. That work focussed on the development of the display materials including maps and panoramas together with the scripting and production of the films which feature within the centre.
