Join us for this New Year special episode where Colonel Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts are joined by the family to try out a wartime Christmas pudding recipe prepared - complete with grated potato and carrot - by Andy's wife Penny.  

Listen in as Paul and Andy discuss the provision of comforts to the troops, including the amazing amount raised by the county of Herefordshire in 1915/16 for servicemen overseas.  And then they are joined by Penny, Rosie, Brian, Anne, Alison, Jack and Ben to sample the plum pudding, complete with custard made from powdered egg?  Will it be eggsellent or awful - listen to find out.

And a happy new year from all at the Herefordshire Light Infantry.  If you have any requests for what you would like to hear us explore in 2026, just get in touch.
