In Monty's Footsteps

Wartime Around The Country


Listen Later

From the Orkney Islands to the coastline of North Wales, Henry uncovers connections and contributions to the Normandy Campaign and wider war effort. He discovers how communities were shaped and changed for good by the events of the Second World War with both positive and negative consequences for local people.



He meets historians and museum curators with real-life insights into what day-to-day experiences were like and unearths fascinating links to the D-Day Landings.



As Henry continues his journey in his grandfather's footsteps, he reflects on his own pilgrimages to Normandy and his unforgettable encounters with Veterans along the way.
