  1. Brilliant Paul. Don’t think I could ever tire of hearing about Eric. I hope to get there one day.

  2. Really liked the Vlog. More please.
    The cemetery reminds me of the one my great uncle is buried in north of Arras. These small cemeteries out on the battlefield are poignant and and have an atmosphere all of their own.
    Keep up the great work with the old front line.

  4. Really excellent Paul, as sensitive and informative as ever: Vlog is a great success and although I do support you through Patreon, I think it is admirable that you offer this within your free element. I have a number of soldiers that I think will interest you and I’ll write to you. Best wishes
