Afternoon Play: The Ordeal of Alfred M Hale

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Andrew Dallmeyer. A wartime memoir adapted from the true account: A Note on the War 1914-18. The annals of conflict are full of stories of suffering in battle, but the agonies suffered by Alfred M Hale during the First World War were of a different kind altogether. Full of humour, self pity and pathos, this adaptation provides a fascinating insight into the effects of war on a man pulled completely out of his social milieu. Narrated by Duncan Preston. Producer Colin Gilbert
