Korean Veterans’ school visit

Brian Hough and Jim Grundy are two Korean veterans who worked with Legasee to deliver an educational project on the art of the open in question in oral history. This film was our way of saying thank you to the pupils.

Jim Selway

Jim Selway was a Captain in the Royal Tank Regiment. Born in 1928 he was an evacuee and then educated at Millhill School in North London and subsequently Sandhurst. He arrived in Korea in December 1952 and within 24 hours was in battle stations on the frontline. Recalled with emotion and humour, Jim provides some great anecdotes about his personal experiences.

Joan Endersby

Born Emily Joan Williams and having witnessed the enormous devastation of the Liverpool Blitz, it was inevitable that Joan would want to do her bit for the war effort. She joined the Wrens in 1943 and served as a Teleprinter Operator in Londonderry, Ireland. It’s an amusing interview which clearly demonstrates Joan’s zest for life.

Alfred Blake

Alfred Blake was lucky to survive an ambush in Aden whilst serving with the Queens Home Cameron Highlanders.
