The ‘Blighty Thank God’ podcast and website could not have been produced without expert help from web manager Geoff Paddock of GP Media Ltd and podcast producer Sam Pauly of SummitUp.
Sam interviews me – Neil Chapman – about the podcast and web resources based on my late father’s diary for 1943.
Immeasurable thanks to Crockford Management for permission to use a rendition of ‘The Last Post’ played by Mark Knopfler – dedicated to the Northumberland Fusiliers who lost their lives in the First World War, and as part of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Living Memory project.
