Old Front Line
WW1 Podcast with Paul Reed
Gunner Officer: Malcolm Vyvyan
We return to the memories of WW1 veteran Malcolm Vyvyan MC, who served with 96th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery on the Western Front from 1916, and then latterly the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force. We follow him from the Somme to Arras, until he leaves his Battery for flying training in 1918.
The previous episode covering Malcolm’s memoirs: A Siege Battery Gunner.

Thanks for a fascinating account of this man’s service. Is a history of the 96th Siege Battery available? It’s not on N &MP. I note that you posted a link to it on the Great War Forum 17 years ago.

It was privately published for officers only and it hasn’t been republished to my knowledge. I believe it was only sold to a handful of people!

One was published but it has never been republished as far as I am aware. I’ve only ever seen one copy come up for sale as I believe it was for officers only!
