Ross Richardson - Inspired by Words

Season 2 · Episode 14

Friday, September 27, 2024 • Duration 47:08

Having read 'McCrae's Battalion: The Story of the 16th Royal Scots' by Jack Alexander, Ross found his interest in the Western Front piqued. Researching the 'how' he might find out more, he came across the Western Front Way and the rest, as they say, is history.

An expert planner, Ross cycled from Dunkirk to Albert by bicycle on a journey of his own to understand more about the First World War, and critically to honour direct ties to his family who served at the front during the Great War.

Ross speaks eloquently on the 'why' it matters in the current age to make a journey like this, and even hints he will return in the near future to push further south along the trail to explore the narratives of different nations involved in the conflict.

A fabulous guest and a great conversationalist, a pod which touches on the past, the present and the future and a joy to record.
