  I travelled from the States to Warwick Castle back in 2009. It was my last year of High School and the first time abroad. Right outside the entrance to the castle was this guy in period dress, sporting several crosses of St. George across his &quot;uniform.&quot; I listened to him talk for thirty minutes on archery and the longbow, all the while he&apos;s sinking arrows into a straw dummy at least 50ft across the moat. My mind was transported six hundred years into the past listening to him.<br><br>Lo and behold, I find him on YouTube! God bless you, Mr. Hicks!

  Hi Kevin. &nbsp;I am married to Don Adams who you mention in one of your films - I believe you worked together at Warwick Castle. &nbsp;Unfortunately Don is quite ill in hospital following a stroke a week ago. But I managed to download one of your videos (or at least part of it) to my iPad and took it in to him. He loved watching it. &nbsp;I&apos;m not very tech savvy but am trying to get more onto the iPad so he can watch them. &nbsp;There isn’t WiFi in the hospital. Best wishes, Meriel Adams.

  The attention to detail, historical knowledge and entertainment factor on the channel is second to none.

  Kevin is simply the best. Jealous of all the people who get to spend time with him listening to him talk. Cheers from Minnesota!

  As someone who has studied some Roman military campaigns, &nbsp;it&apos;s something I&apos;ve often thought about. Modern warfare can be fought at distances of hundreds or thousands of yards but those earlier battles were mostly fought at arm&apos;s length. So that&apos;s where the bodies fell. Stepping or even climbing over the piles of dead and wounded would have been how soldiers advanced and fought. Truly gruesome to imagine.

  It reminds me of sitting around a campfire and hearing a story from a soldier that was actually there. &nbsp;This was a really good one, Kevin. Thanks.

  You don&apos;t just tell us about a historic event, you bring it to life.

  I have read several accounts of the battle, and there are variations; but for sure it was absolute carnage for the French

  Kevin, this is the greatest retelling of the battle that I have ever heard. You really deliver the horror of the battle, far better than others have. Thank you for your passion for history. Cheers from Texas.

  I absolutely love Kevin’s cheeky smirk when he says “but there weren’t enough of them” at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnpcd-HX5FE&amp;t=1025">17:05</a>. You couldn’t ask for a more passionate teacher of history. Another stellar video!
