Bonus Episode - Pte. R Bailey (with Special Guest David Wilkins)

To coincide with the recent release of his book, "Blighty or Bust", we are joined in this bonus episode by David Wilkins to tell us about the escape of Private Raymond Bailey, who was captured in 1940 during the retreat through northern France. Like Basil Embry in Episode 5 of Series 3, Raymond Bailey escaped from a marching column of Prisoners-of-War making its way back to Germany, before making his way through Occupied and Unoccupied France to return to the UK.


A fascinating escape, the story of how Raymond Bailey's account was discovered is worth a listen as well!
