Michael Hambrook's lifelong obsession with military history can be attributed to spending several years of his childhood growing up in the 'Bomb Alley' region of London, where he recalls listening to the Luftwaffe bomb the British boats docking on the River Thames. As an adult in South Africa, Michael was a reservist in the British South Africa Police Force and participated in security operations during the South African Border War.
