“Excellent podcast.
Really enjoyed the mention of the “Old Contemptibles” boozer in Brum.
A favourite pub of mine and having had three generations of my family serve with the royal Warwickshire regiment it resonated with me.
My great grandfather, Frederick Harrison was an RWR Old Contemptible and attended the meetings at the pub until his death from lung related issues due to being gassed in the war.
My grandfather on my dads side was also an RWR soldier who served with 1st Batt.
Enlisting at 16 and surviving the Somme and third battle of Ypres .
Keep up the good work Matt, hope life post WMP is treating you well pal .”
