Always feel a bit guilty of posts like this but I know a few of you have read my Grandfathers book Rifleman: A Front-Line Life from Alamein and Dresden to the Fall of the Berlin Wall ,so I thought some of you might be interested to hear the 94 year old on Robert Elm's Radio London show on thursday talking about his latest book King's Cross Kid: A Childhood between the Wars which has just been released on paperback
The show can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01ys8zt (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01ys8zt) and he is on about 90 mins into the show (you can fast forward).
