This is a podcast about people...soldiers who served and sacrificed in the time of the Great War. It is a podcast where I bring the names carved in granite back to life...telling the stories of ordinary men (and a few women) who fought in WW1. Each episode is based on a unique biography written with care and compassion, aimed at helping us understand these ordinary soldiers. Each biography has been written and posted to Substack and Facebook...but I know that we are all busy. This podcast is for people 'on the go' and give them a chance to experience these interesting stories.

Heroes of the Great War - Episode 8 A Man and His Boy

This time it's personal...a photograph taken on the eve of a soldier's departure to England and then onto France. It was a picture taken of a father holding the recently born son...the boy whom he would never come to know. The look in the man's eyes said it all. The picture was being taken not for him to remember his son when he was 'over there'...rather it was taken for his son to remember him. This is the story of my great grandfather and his son...my grandpa.
