We are privileged to share an interview with Arthur Perkins, recorded just weeks before his 100th birthday. It was part of the research for Matt Limb's book, We Will Remember - World War Two Veterans, and despite his age, Arthur was kind enough to share his time.
In this episode, we explore Arthur’s early life in his hometown of Nottingham, including the story he heard as a young boy from his uncle, a World War One veteran. We’ll also discover how a childhood accident, with his bicycle, may have saved his life when he was conscripted during World War Two.
Then we hear why Arthur was transferred to the Royal Engineers, as he worked loading shipping in preparation for D-Day and the liberation of Europe. Finally, Arthur shares his experiences serving in Egypt as a Medical Orderly and his transition back to civilian life after the war.
