  • Ep347 – The 8th Bn, West Surrey Regt – Prof. Ian Isherwood
    Dec 16 2024

    In this episode, we are honoured to speak with Dr Ian Isherwood, a historian, scholar, and author of the newly released book The Battalion: Citizen Soldiers at War on the Western Front. Dr Isherwood provides a deeply researched and heartfelt account of the 8th Battalion, The Queen’s (Royal West Surrey Regiment), during the First World War. Drawing from personal letters, memoirs, and diaries, this work sheds light on the emotional resilience, motivations, and lived experiences of these citizen soldiers as they faced some of the war’s most harrowing battles. Join us as we delve into the origins of this project, uncover the personal stories behind the battalion, and discuss the fresh perspectives this book offers on the Great War.
