Kriss Akabusi shares his journey from an army signaller to a British Olympic athlete. He joined the army as a data telephonist and embraced the cutting-edge technology of the time. Initially stationed in Germany with the 22 Signals, he found the transition from a care home to military life smoother than expected. Despite his dedication to the Signals, Kriss's talent on the track led him to the Army Physical Training Corps in 1982. He emphasises the influence of role models in the army and candidly discusses his lack of understanding about the army's function, particularly in light of the Falklands Conflict. His decision to leave the army turned him into a key figure in UK sports. He won medals for Great Britain from 1983 – 1992, and still holds the British record over 400m hurdles at 47.82 seconds. Kriss reflects on the significance of joining the army and openly shares his thoughts on young British soldiers in current conflicts. His story is a powerful testament to the transformative impact of military service.

John Booth gives a gripping account of his service as a Wireless Operator for the Royal Signals during the Korean War. In 1950, after following in his family's footsteps as a grocer, John decided to volunteer for the Royal Signals as part of his National Service. He began his training at Catterick Garrison, lasting six months before being sent to Harwich where he joined the newly formed 1st Commonwealth Division. In 1951, he found himself boarding the Orwell, setting sail for Korea to join the war effort. John recalls seeing a substantial amount of smoke in Pusan upon their arrival, believing it was related to the conflict, though this was not the case. Reaching the frontage, his crew was placed near the Imjin River behind the infantry line, attached to three mortar batteries. His responsibility was to receive signals for chosen targets and call the batteries to fire at said targets across the battlefield. He reflects on the difficult living conditions of their camp: from cold tents to limited washing facilities, compounded by the fact they received no downtime in Korea until the end of their service. Despite these inconveniences, John maintained a dutiful air throughout. Reflecting on his experience, John was content with his contribution to the war, remembering the support and gratitude given by the Korean people for helping them during a tumultuous time. His interview gives insight into the bravery and loyalty demonstrated by British soldiers who volunteered to provide succour in the Korean conflict.

Andrée Dumon's first encounters with evaders were exciting because she realised the danger she was putting herself in. Working full-time for the Resistance, she guided English soldiers across the Pyrenees Mountains. Nearing her 20th birthday she was arrested with her parents in Brussels but refused to divulge information despite German police threats. Her bravery and  determination were crucial attributes during her imprisonment. Following her 1942 capture, her sister Michou took her place in the Resistance, showing similar characteristics. After her 1945 liberation, she battled typhus in an English hospital, again displaying remarkable resilience. Andrée reflects on her experiences during the D-Day landings and post-war involvement with the English.
