Comedian John Martin becomes NMWDM patron

We are thrilled to announce our new patron to our charity, comedian and author, John Martin.

John Martin is well known as a professional comedian but did you know that he is also a reputable author with a passion for military history? Combined with his love of dogs, and his involvement in many of our charity event, John was a natural choice as a patron of the National Military Working Dogs Memorial charity.

Having studied and researched Operation Anthropoid for over 40 years, travelling extensively with his research, enjoying access that very few people ever get, he has written a book all about Operation Anthropoid 1942.

Operation Anthropoid was the code name for the plan to assassinate Nazi Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich in 1942. John is considered a world expert on the subject. He has appeared in TV documentaries and was even sought out by producers of the new blockbuster movie Anthropoid to provide expertise, including on the actual film set in Prague.

John has also written a collection of stories about six bloody events in history called’Ambushed’. John has studied and researched every aspect of the subject matter for this new book, which is already receiving critical acclaim and even attention from TV documentary makers.
