I recently had the good fortune to sit down with John Marshall from LincsPod after he contacted me about my new book, Valour – The Victoria Cross & The Lincolnshire Regiment. In the episode, we talk not only about the stories behind the book, but also about my background and the battlefield tours I lead.
We also take time to tease out some of the remarkable stories from the book, from young officers who showed extraordinary leadership under fire, to ordinary Lincolnshire men who found themselves in extraordinary situations and rose to the challenge. These glimpses into their lives offer just a flavour of the courage, sacrifice and humanity at the heart of the Victoria Cross.
The podcast is now published on YouTube and can be watched below, a conversation about courage, remembrance and keeping history alive and not forgetting.
