Chatted with a WW2 veteran and heard all of his stories about how we joined the Army and his memories from the war and VE day - since he could not be out marching with the British Legion for VE Day. He was wearing shirt, tie, beret and medals and we managed a little bit of a video call for him to show me and explain the medals, as well as a much longer chat of all of his memories.
