This episode finds curator, Col Andy Taylor joined by Major James Hereford, former curator and Friend of the Museum. James shares with us his deep roots in the county - right back to Maurice de Hereford in the 1140s. We hear about several notable "Herefords" - including politically astute High Sheriffs and Pope-defying clerics.
We then hear about James' army career as a young Light Infantry officer in Cyprus, as an Aide-de-Camp in Malaya and his final posting as Training Major for the 5th Battalion, the Light Infantry (Volunteers). A role that found him travelling up and down the country visiting scattered companies and platoons of this Territorial Army Battalion as far afield as Truro and Durham.
James also shares insights from his time as Curator and founder of the Friends of the Herefordshire Light Infantry Museum.
