Ken Smith on joining the army at the end of WWII and the rebuilding of Europe

Born in 1927, Ken Smith was an evacuee who just missed the end of WWII but served for four years in the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars, in Italy and Germany, as the allies began rebuilding Europe and staking out the Cold War. We discussed his military career, his childhood in Notting Hill, his evacuation in Wiltshire, and his experiences in the film industry, which included mixing with many movie stars.After the film industry, Ken became a successful businessman and has been a long support of AJEX.Our host, Dan Fox, once again builds a special bond with our guest in this touching discussion across the generations.Huge thanks to Ken's son Adam for his support and help in making this episode happen.For more information on AJEX: https://www.ajex.org.uk/To donate: https://www.ajex.org.uk/donateOur social media accounts can be found here:Instagram: @ajex_jmaFacebook: ajexheadofficeYouTube: ajex_jma
