I speak to Rob Griffith about the men of the 5th/60th - a unit of riflemen who are much less well known that their comrades in the 95th Rifles, but who nonetheless have a rich and vibrant history, and we a unit full of remarkable characters. We discuss insanity, desertion, rank and file becoming Portuguese gentry, and the trials and tribulations of serving in a unit which was not your homeland's.
