Was driving home one day a few months ago, and hearing an extract on Radio 4 I suddenly recognised one of the voices - My neighbour in Wimbledon back in the 60s, Lieutenant Montague (Monty) Cleeve, describing going over the top at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. So I ordered the CD on Amazon.
He was a nice old boy, thin as a whippet (which possibly explains why he survived - all he had to do was turn sideways like a playing card and the bullets would have zipped past him!).
