TAUNTON historian Robin Bush is taking viewers through 2,000 years of conflict involving the South-West and its people on a TV programme next month.

Somerset County Council chairman Mr Bush, PICTURED at the grave of T.E. Lawrence at Moreton in Dorset, presents The West at War on ITV Westcountry at 7.30pm on Tuesday, June 7.

The programme is a compelling tale of local people who fought for their country and have contributed to the region as it stands today.
