In this episode Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts look back over the events of Remembrance 2024, including wreaths being taken down on the GWR's Poppy Train service to London Paddington on 11th November. Andy was accompanied by museum assistant curator, Danny Rees and cadets of 124 (City of Hereford) Squadron, RAF Cadets.
On the same day, Paul helped lead the remembrance service at Hereford Academy with 600 pupils and cadets of the newly formed Combined Cadet Force detachment at the school.
Andy and Paul reflect on the role of remembrance today and also discuss recent acquisitions to the museum, helping to keep alive the county's military history. These include an original letter from Hitler's architect, Alfred Speer written to the Herefordshire Regiment to thank them for his treatment during his arrest after the end of the Second World War.
