Brilliant Paul. Don’t think I could ever tire of hearing about Eric. I hope to get there one day.
Thanks Matt, I hope you get there too.
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.
Thank you, Tommy!
Excellent!! Very meaningful. More like this please.
Hopefully more coming soon!
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
Thanks, Terence, I look forward to hearing from you!
More VLogs, please: in your own time…
Thanks! More coming!
