A fascinating podcast and an excellent reading list. Stephen Bull ticks all the boxes for me!
Good also to here the veteran talk about the trenches at Vimy Ridge. No surprises that he found the 1980s version a bit pristine though!

I forgot to ask, is the Hooge Crater museum open again? According to their website it is, but I would like to double check.
Thanks
