Wartime Memories - Recollections of WW1

The Worlds of Robert Crighton

First Hand Recollections of the Great War by William Coleman In the early 1980's, William Henry Coleman, a veteran of the First World War, was persuaded to talk about his experiences. What he didn't realise was that he was secretly being recorded. This is a special documentary featuring a restoration of that footage, with a specially recorded interview with his grandson, Alan Scott. NB: Due to the archive nature of the recording and the context of its creation, the audio quality is extremely variable - if the stories told do not always yield to a first listen, hang in there, it's worth it. The voices you will hear are: William Coleman on the archive recording, Alan Scott in present day interview and the producer Robert Crighton as host and in the background.
