Very well the commanding officer left having Colonel pole Smith says provided a unique opportunity for his reservists to gain some valuable overseas operational experience has been 2 years in the making about 2 years ago. That we would get there and then we basically started working on. A year of. People and got them ready for and here we are the families it's all done it's hard to believe in some ways it's all done and we've done so much it wasn't. All it was a benign environment there was just a lot that they had today I'm being full time running things are security exercises on the constant demands of the u.n. Headquarters on time that planning on their preparation was way more than they ever expected so now it's back to normal for these field operators keeping the British forces.

I mean. Not only the names on the Armed Forces no more which will break anybody check $16000.00 names of been killed since the end of the 2nd World War But it's also very cathartic place it's a place where you can actually you can sit and contemplate You can sit and think this is what Remembrance means and the glory of this new remembered sent to the rebuilt as an explanation of what remembrances by so people can understand Bourne it's very helpful I think in that respect and also education for young children as well and of course on Armistice Day a very important location because the service is held there each year yes a big service is held and normally in the post appalling weather this part of the country actually seems to bring but that is very important to new somebody 15000 people will come here and with this new center that we've got we have to look after them much more efficiently than we were before and it was us tense and to be honest a muddy field the armed forces memorial is behind us at the moment I don't know that it's been built in a very special way that at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month something happens on that particular time it's designed so if the sun is shining a shaft of light before through a gap in the wall and fall directly on a reef right in front right in the middle of the Armed Forces memorial and I was one when it was absolute dreadful weather and suddenly just before 11 o'clock o'clock it's departed the sun shone through and I tell you it was a most wonderful moving sight to see the sun hit that wreath and at that moment to the nation full silent what goes through your mind during those 2 minutes Well I suppose I'm lucky enough to knock it off which ever to been involved in wars and my mates have been killed and sometimes it must be very difficult for people who haven't got that attachment or that experience to know what to think about joining those 2 minute silence but for me for servicemen we find that quite easy to think about all mates and that's what I reflect on and the one thing that I think the real British Legion like remember is a remembrance isn't just at this time of year. I think it's very important. And I think. That it's. Amazing. That people recognize. People. Who. This radio is maybe. This is a good b.s. As another deployment finished and you're probably looking forward to catching up with you mate so I'll cut to the chase have a think about what you drink when you go out for the Celebrate to recap shops because it's been a while brings the couple because it's been a few months strings on the I've been dry so long one more won't hurt drinks. Just a few of those drinks could help you make the right choices avoid accidents and stay in control and would you really miss them Ultimately though it's up to you have a little less. Say how I drink away dot co dot u.k. We've taken you to places. It's passengers in life because of the seam of medics nurses don't to some pilots we've told you compelling stories seem to have. Area right our forces life this also old style foundation in west London has been supporting veterans for 100 years Sharon Robson visited the main location recently a tranquil community only a stone's throw from the Chelsea football ground and spoke to James Fort. Stall saw a need during World War one to ensure that there was appropriate housing and support for returning soldiers and he was aware that we needed to provide back those 100 years appropriate housing for disabled and vulnerable servicemen and women over those 100 years the charity most changed and evolved quite a lot stall worked with all sorts of organizations to set up the 1st housing scheme here in full in west London and since then stall has evolved and grown to provide housing schemes across 4 different sites and we are now starting work on a 5th in order shot the organization has grown enormously but what's interesting is that the need remains the same. The need 100 years ago was to support disabled and vulnerable people coming out of service and to meet their housing and support needs that need 100 years on we're in our 17 re year is exactly the same what else do you offer as well as the housing stall provides great housing and we work with 70 housing associations across the country so that if we don't have property available of our own then we can work with those housing associations and agree a tendency for hundreds of other veterans each year but we're more than bricks and mortar store provides health and well being services and we're very lucky to secure funding from a range of partners to help people into employment we run all sorts of classes programs to help people regain and maintain their independence and I guess one of the most important things that we do is that we meet individual needs so when somebody in the armed forces is making that transition from service into civilian life they can come to stall and we will assess their needs if somebody needs support needs or support with mental health issues support with housing support to regain employment and those are the kind of services that we are able to offer you mention that you work with at the 70 housing associations all of the agencies directly we work with partners in a variety of different contexts so our veterans nomination scheme which is funded by the Royal British Legion our job is to make sure that we provide not just housing but the support how do you mark success how do you judge success or success for us is helping veterans lead independent lives that is success for us helping veterans who may have been homeless whose world may have fallen apart on the transition from service into civilian life helping those people find stability and find fulfillment in their life that is success as an organization we have set ourselves a big big task and given. The shortfall given the lack of affordable social housing for rent the veterans can access we are committed to provide an additional $100.00 homes over the next few years how many people do you employ between the different locations that you have stole has a very very small staff but a very dedicated staff and we bring in specialists to meet the requirements of tenants and veterans why does the funding come from well we're very lucky to have a wide range of supporters including from government including from the road British Legion including from foundations such as who often found ation and many Blue and chocolate girl on forces life on Forces Radio be f.b.s. English people like talking about the weather playing cricket a may appear rude this is how the average Englishman was described in a book to help the one and a half 1000000 American servicemen and women overcome the culture shock of being stationed in England during the 2nd World War decades later the book English and they come free for overseas forces is being published in hardback Richard Hatch a very good I've been speaking to John Delaney from the Imperial War Museum about the book the book was published in 1944 so you've probably been written the year before that so stay right in the middle of the 2nd World War Ok it was a look a little pocket book ranch of 35 pages which given that paper was in very short supply and the big print run of this would have had it was significant and undertaking for the time so who was it aimed at it was aimed at primarily foreign servicemen mostly Americans who would be stationed in Britain in the wind up to D.-Day and to get them used to the British way of life I love it is such a funny idea isn't it an American soldier's kind of you know comes up against some kind of frosty slightly rude Englishman and then he goes I'm on a 2nd let me just consult the book may appear rude but they are just that kind of how it is supposed to work we're sort of but most of the Americans arriving in the United Kingdom would be coming over on transatlantic steamers say they'd have a couple of weeks to read up on it before they arrived in the u.k. And I think the books would have been dished out to troops you know as they departed and as they arrived in the United Kingdom to say to enable him to sort of speaking with British culture more effectively saying above and being a bit rude to other kind of where the English apparently. Going to be like for the Americans Well I think. The taciturn nature is repeated over and over again but I think the other thing that comes through is. Warning the Americans that the British self-deprecating and that doesn't mean that they or they are constantly doing themselves Dennis mentioned a jokey way or. 'd sucking away free right there with sarcasm taking the mickey out of each other as well as is on the line in the book 'd saying that there is no British people having a go at each other that is friendly banter while the tips can you give us the other thing that basically they underline to the American it's not going to be like the books or the movies the Hollywood movies representing England that you may have seen so when people go to work than all whaling by law some people don't all go to public school and everybody hasn't got so one of the main themes in the bookies is really describing the English working classes as opposed to the upper classes and saying you know she's she's a different thing than what you might expect to run across I think this could still apply you know you get American people think you're friends with the queen and you know the size girls are no one's paid Mary Poppins they've got such a fine you know Midge terrible taste Yeah. Well that's actually rhyming underlining the fact that you know the British can't make coffee but they can make a good cup of tea you know things like that do you think it was useful I think yes I think it would have been useful to an extent in tempered what the Americans might have expected when they got off the boat and therefore helped with those interlined relations why is about being republished now all these years later when I think it's with post-breakfast and things like that there is quite a lot of you know inward looking interest in in looking at the nature of Englishness and what it means to be. We are different from the Europeans or the nation in general so how can people get ahold of a co-pay Well the book is available through the medium shop and it's available online so.
