I'm a 20th Century military historian based in Canberra, Australia. I make occasional changes to pages related to military history, particularly related to the Second World War. I have also been involved with improving articles related to the history of the Paralympics. Since 2012 I have been a Wikipedian in Residence with Paralympics Australia.
