BBC Radio Ulster - Kintra, Stories and memories from the war years – real and imagined

Remembering the first and second world wars.

Visiting the war memorials in France, music to upset Hitler, and remembering family, friends and everyday during the world wars.

Willie brings stories from France recorded during his recent visit to the war graves and memorials.  
Gibson hears about Willie Cromie’s big brother who never came home with the promised sweeties.
Ronnie McIlhatton reads an excerpt from his award-winning prose about the trenches – A Wheen o’ Days.  
Sally Young looks back to her childhood experiences of living between two aerodromes during the war and of having the Home Guard train around her family’s farmhouse.
Helen completes this week’s Kintra team and as as always, listeners with an Ulster-Scots yarn to share or event to promote are encouraged to get in touch – even if it’s just to say hello!  You can reach the team by email - kintra@bbc.co.uk.
