Just A Walk In The Sun with the Hereford Regiment Museum
Peculiarities, Anomalies and Posers in the Museum Collection
In this month's episode, Andy Taylor and Paul Roberts are joined by Assistant Curator and all round expert, Danny Rees to explore some of the mysteries, unanswered questions and anomalies among the museum's collection and men from the Regiment. From everything to confusing first names, unofficially altered shoulder titles to the perennial confusion between "Herefordshire" and "Hertfordshire." (With not a hurricane in sight...!).
Safely within the walls of the Regimental Museum, we also explore three generations of Hereford men with the same same - Peter Broome-Giles, and the challenge this seems to have posed to the medal issuing authorities. We also hear a little more about the Regiment's most decorated soldier - Lieutenant Colonel W F Chipp DSO MC. How did he earn his Second World War medals around the fall of Singapore?
Finally we explain how you can help the museum - for less than the price of a cup of coffee - by becoming a Friend or Patreon supporter. Every penny counts when it comes to preserving the fascinating history of this solely Territorial unit from Herefordshire, in the Welsh Marches.
