About this listen

Matthew speaks to Cumberland farmer Joe Roe about his father John.

Joe was born in 1947 but describes the Second World War as "a thread which ran through my entire life".

John's war took him to Dunkirk; the Western Desert; Italy; and, afterwards, to Palestine.

When he came home, John took over the local post office. But, says Joe, "Not a day seemed to go by when the war wasn't mentioned in some way."
