During the First World War, Private Henry Tandey was awarded of the Victoria Cross, the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Military medal, in just 4 weeks!

But 20 years later just before the outbreak of World War Two another story began to circulate; that he had saved the life of Adolf Hitler.

So did he save Hitler or did the German leader hijack a British war hero's reputation for his own ends?

The battle of Ferozeshah, fought during 1st Anglo-Sikh War in 1845, was battle of egos, madness and traitors.

A farcical power struggle between the two most senior British officers, bayonet charges against cannon, British cavalry and artillery ordered off the field midway through the battle, and Sikh commanders snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It’s almost comical, if it were not for the 5,000 men killed and wounded.

The battle of Cape St. Vincent turned Horatio Nelson into a national hero.

The battle where Royal Navy defeated the Spanish Navy was fought on the 14th February 1797. It was not so much a St. Valentine’s Day massacre, but it did make Nelson the darling of the British public.
