The Lone Rat WW2 history channel. - Invidious

The Lone Rat WW2 history channel.

This is my new channel dedicated to the antics of the 8th Army in WWII and other associated facts. It will also feature video clips from various interviews I recorded with my late father and other veterans. Ideally to gather as much information from surviving 8th army veterans and their families as possible and were possible to record surviving veterans to produce an historical archive of first hand experiences.
