Join us this month at a recent meeting of the newly inaugurated Hereford Militaria Club - an opportunity for military researchers, collectors, military vehicle owners and family historians to meet over a meal and share no end of fascinating stories. This lively bunch met at the Godwins Pub in the Herefordshire village of Bartestree - once the headquarters of the famous Godwins encaustic tile manufacturers.
We hear a tantalising snippet of Mick Atkinson's talk, showing Napoleon's personal Legion d'Honneur, worn in many famous battles and later in captivity. More of Mick in a future podcast!
We also hear from Reg Gibson about his interest in military vehicles and the discovery of a poem written by his late mother Jean dedicated to a crew of an RAF bomber that was lost over Germany. It was to be read to them at an 18th birthday party. After finding the poem, Reg said he wanted to "bring the names of these young men back from the dead, to celebrate their lives and acknowledge their sacrifice". Thanks to Reg's research and dedication, the poem was shared with the crew's family, nearly 80 years on and a recording played at their graveside. For more information click here.
