    I listened to this some months ago and really enjoyed it. I myself was in the Signal Corp. and could relate to this story.

      This was a great story. Hello, I don't know what that army division even is. Did you have a good time? May I please ask, what were your duties & for how long did you stay? I'd love to hear all about it. Wasn't the war 70 years ago now? May I ask what age did you enlist must have been just 16 when you enlisted. My how time flies. I love to read & WW2, the Russian Revolution & ancient history & empires are my favourite genres. I love them in movies too. I am a 47 year old Irish lady. You should write a book on your army experience! 📕God bless from Ireland. It is Thursday the 3rd of November 2022@3.02 am.

      Like spy stories. My father was an infiltrating agent in Japanese camps in WW2. Good memory plus able to estimate distances on sight with reasonable accuracy. You cannot write anything coz if you get caught, your head is off via samurai.

    I never listened to, "BBC Saturday Night Theatre." and it really was like theatre. I think except for a few shows I guess I have stuck to American shows. I loved this, it was so suspenseful, right until the end. Thank you, it is wonderful to find a new show, boy, I love OTR!. B).

      @@ChestertonRadio I’ll definitely look at that, but I kind of like listening to what you just put on. I feel like it’s really radio. It’s organized, its very good. I had stopped listening to otr on YT. I’ve become a true crime nut, but it’s nice feeling like it’s my new radio station. Lol
      I have to try your CBS posts. I never liked them despite the cast because they feel too new somehow. It’s silly. I’m going to try and ignore that and listen.
