    Hi Angus, I have been binge listening to your podcast for the last few weeks. I have found both your self and your guests so very interesting. My grandfather was in the Somerset infantry from the start to the finish, he is 98 this year and still kicking on, we are all so very proud of what he and his mates when through so we could live the way we do today. I really like your format and look forward to listening to what you have install in the coming months and hopefully years to come. Keep up your great work. Ben Eglinton, Melbourne
