David, 82, served at Gobowen after being conscripted during the final year of National Service
A York British Armed Forces veteran’s exploits during National Service 60 years ago will be front and centre of an innovative UK-wide new heritage project.
David Ryan, 82, who hails from Heworth and served at Gobowen during the 1950s, is one of 18 former servicemen included in a National Lottery-funded project called National Service Remembered.
It has been exactly 60 years since National Service ended in the UK and the campaign, run by the not-for-profit organisation Same but Different, captures an important period of the country’s cultural history through the eyes of the men who served.
