Jim RocheJim Roche returned to Scotland in 1995 with his wife Morven and their three children, and has lived in Stirling since then. They now have two grandchildren. After graduating in Physics at Glasgow University in 1974, Jim worked in Operations Managemen before studying Marketing at Lancaster University.Jim worked in the marketing of new products for Cadbury, where he launched the Wispa bar (the original was far better than today's version). He became a Board Director of Bacardi-Martini, and remembers crossing the Atlantic on Concorde to attend an urgent meeting in New York. In business, Jim has worked with a wide range of organisations which have included food, software development, telecoms, games and virtual reality, forestry estates, electronics and precision engineering.Since retiring, he has served as a Director for various charities. When he's not 'walking the ground' with an old map in hand to better understand battlefields, he is reading personal diaries and soldier's memories. Jim was a founding member of Wargame Developments in 1981. This is a group devoted to simulating historical military and political events using everything from drama and debate to maps and even toy soldiers. It is from these discussions that he became convinced about the need to understand the religious and social motivations of people in the past and the importance of unit frontages and supply in understanding historical battles.He has several published articles on military themes as well as on Church history. Jim has volunteered at various archaeological digs, most particularly at the Roman frontier at the Gask Ridge over several seasons. His 'surprising fact' is that he was once an extra in a Bollywood movie. Read More Read Less
