S3 Special Episode - Remembrance 2021.
It's the usual Woolpatch Show format, but rather than talking about wool & fabric, I wanted to take time out at this reflective time and share with you the story of my grandad who was a Desert Rat in World War 2. This episode may not be for everyone and in certain places, some of the artefacts I show are hard to view. But it is important to remember what he and many others have did in the past (and current times) for us all and to talk and share stories of what happened. There may be many of you who have relatives that where in the same regiment. I would love to hear all your family stories in the discussion, from past wars, to even current day of any regiment and division. It's important to keep remembering about the individuals who fight for our freedom.
