British Army

So it turns out that she, we checked that out and there was a licensee who basically had that pub back in the day during the, you know, around the time of the Great War or just slightly after it.

And a lot of NCOs in the British Army used drink there, right? And she was a matronly or a motherly figure to them at the time.

And we kind of checked that out on the old history books.

And there was a woman there at that time kind of matching that.

He was born on July 13, 1940. in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, and then he grew up in a working-class household with limited financial means.

His father, a British Army veteran of World War II, struggled with the psychological effect of his military service and was physically abusive towards Stuart's mother, an experienced actor we'll later discuss publicly.

Stuart discovered acting While still at school and briefly worked as a newspaper reporter before pursuing the stage professionally.

He trained at the British Old Vic Theatre School and spent his early career performing in regional theatre across Britain.

Jam packed with all kinds of people.

Very interesting collaboration with the Royal British Legion because he was serving in the British Army as a chaplain and even the British ambassador was represented by her military attache.

So it was kind of ecumenical and cross community, if you like to call it.

It was a really wonderful celebration.

And it's deploying up to a squadron of Typhoons, say four, going out there on this defensive capability.

It's hardly the same as deploying the British Army into Afghanistan.

It's not that level of commitment.

But what it does do is it shores up these defensive alliances.

MOD archaeologist Richard Osgood is leading this battlefield dig.

What we're looking for is the points where the tanks of the British Army attacked in 1917 and to find out why they were destroyed where they were, to answer the question that was levelled at some of the crews that they perhaps lacked moral fibre, maybe as an element of cowardice in some ways, not helping to assist the Australian infantry in their attack on the German Hindenburg Line.

The team have an idea where they might find one of these tanks because the Germans took photographs of it after their victory.

Richard's archaeologists are ex-soldiers from Britain, Australia and Germany.

It's really great for stopping bullets but not for stopping artillery.

The crews must have known that very, very quickly and it must have been just terrifying.

So these are the tanks that are brought in for training for the British Army.

They've used them on the Somme in 1916, but this is going to be the breakthrough weapon, but they're only for training.

But I'll tell you another mad one about that, about the spiced beef and the corned beef.

It's the British Army.

British Navy, we have to thank for that because Cork was a huge port, as you know, for the Brits when they were sailing to America or Jamaica.

Cork Cove, Queenstown, as they called it, was the last stop, don't you know, before they headed off across the Atlantic.

Moore 7.

The seven men who were brutally murdered by the British Army.

Yeah.

Or was it playing a game of tiddlywinks on a street corner?

Yeah, he was, actually, I'll get to that in just a moment.

In the mid-90s, Mr. Bushby was a paratrooper in the British Army.

He was obsessed with the endurance tests.

And he was trying to find the longest distance he could travel by foot, but none of the options.
