Niall Cherry was born in London in 1959 and recalls becoming interested in
military history as a schoolboy from watching films such as
The Battle of
Britain
and
A Bridge too Far.
He later found out that one of his
grandfathers had fought in the Great War, serving as a Chemical Corporal at
Loos. His father served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
during the early 1950s. He continued in the family tradition by serving in
the Royal Army Medical Corps, qualifying as a Combat Medical
Technician Class 1, an instructor in First Aid and Nuclear, Biological and
Chemical Warfare. He finished his service as a senior NCO.
Deeply interested in the Great War, he has visited numerous battlegrounds
on both the Western Front and at Gallipoli. He is a long-standing member of
the Western Front Association, the Gallipoli Association and the Military
Heraldry Society. He also has the honour of being the first non-Arnhem
veteran to hold the post of UK representative for the Society of Friends of
the Airborne Museum in Oosterbeek, Holland.
In 2000, Niall's first book was published,
Red Berets and Red Crosses: The
Story of the Medical Services in the 1st Airborne Division in World War 2.
The following year, answering an appeal from the Manchester Regiment
Museum, he wrote
I Shall Not Find His Equal,
a biography of Brigadier
Noel Lee. In the last few years he has also contributed articles to
Battlefields Review
and
After The Battle,
together with helping with around
20 other books on the Airborne Forces and Gallipoli.
Niall currently lives in Lancashire with his wife and two daughters,
working for BAE Systems helping build fast military jets.
