The History Syndicate Podcast is to bring together those with a common interest in history. It is to build a community for anyone to discuss everything and anything history.
Whether your research is part of an academic scholarly debate, a museum exhibition, an historical project or personal family history, the syndicate wants to hear and share it with the world.
So much work, time and effort placed into discovering, re-evaluating or add to historical knowledge often goes unsaid, unpublished and unheard. It is the syndicate’s desire to provide a relaxed conversational forum where all have equal opportunity to present their knowledge and hard work.

On this episode, Mark welcomes Andy Taylor to discuss the Herefordshire Light Infantry. With a heritage dated back several hundred years, established as a militia due to the threat of invasion to the British Isles, this band of rifle volunteers, marksmen and motivated individuals, formed the core of a trained unit that would find itself deployed in the Anglo-Boer war (1899-1902), The First world War (1914-18) and The Second World War (1939-45). MarK and Andy discuss their origins, the people of the force and some of their biggest actions and anecdotes, including Suvla Bay in Gallipoli (1915) out to the capture of Admiral Doenitz's Car Pennants in 1945. A great local British County Regiment, Andy and the volunteers works at the museum keeps it alive alongside attending heritage events such as the Hereford Literary and Military History Festival that is on the weekend of 26-28th September 2025. Andy on his own history podcast named "Just a Walk in the Sun" and you can find more about the museum at https://herefordshirelightinfantrymuseum.com/.
