Wartime Memories - Ep 5: Going Home

from The Worlds of Robert Crighton · host The Worlds of Robert Crighton

First Hand Recollections of the Great War by William Coleman Episode Five: Going Home In the early 1980's, William Henry Coleman, a veteran of the First World War, was persuaded to talk about his experiences. What he didn't realise was that he was secretly being recorded. This is the final episode of a series of restorations of that footage, released for the first time, with a specially recorded interview with his grandson, Alan Scott. To catch up on the story, you can go back to episode one - https://audioboom.com/boos/4200203-wartime-memories-ep-1-joining-up NB: Due to the archive nature of the recording and the context of its creation, the audio quality is extremely variable - if the stories told do not always yield to a first listen, hang in there, it's worth it. The voices you will hear are: William Coleman on the archive recording, Alan Scott in present day interview and the producer Robert Crighton in the background.
