Ex Lowland Bunker 2 After a wet start at ExeterGolf Course, everyone was in high spirits. With torrential rain following the troops from Scotland, they managed to make it to the 9th hole but returned to the safety of the 19th, as you can't putt in a swimming pool.

@nleaney It’s definitely contemporary, I think they all knew that now that they were in Germany the war would be over in 45

@The_Lowlander Just caught up as far as the Christmas Special. Something strikes me as odd in the 4KOSB diary: “20.30hrs: Command Post Christmas Dinner, the first and last to be celebrated in Germany” If this was contemporary, how did they know it would be their last?

@The_Lowlander Sad to have heard the last episode. It has been a lovely experience, and maybe all the better because it was for a limited time.

@AndyAitcheson @almurray If he thinks there wasn’t an entire year’s worth of planning, making sure the last episode came out on his birthday… 🤨

Listening on the train into work & thoroughly enjoying it. If I wasn’t already on holiday that week I’d have gone, honestly. Maybe in the future. Thank you @rentaquill & @AndyAitcheson for expanding my knowledge and understanding. I’ll buy you both a pint/drink at the fest 🙏❤️

@StaroftheNorth6 Thanks AJ, means a lot to have had so many listeners whose parents or grandfathers were part of the 52nd.

@The_Lowlander I loved it. To listen to what my grandfather experienced and would have read during his wartime experience with the 52nd, while far from home and his young family, has been wonderful. I only wish I could join you in the autumn.

Our 'penultimate episode' was one of our favourites, and gave us a lot of food for thought. 😊 HOWEVER! Tomorrow's @The_Lowlander *will* be the last episode of pod itself. Another special, and if you're coming walkingwiththejocks with us - it's a real treat. 😊 @AndyAitcheson
The_Lowlander@The_Lowlander

Nearly there, the celebrations have begun - VE Day! The 52nd Lowland Division clicks over into ‘taking care’ mode … although there are still a few pot shots here and there. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿PENULTIMATE EPISODE!
