This month marks the anniversary commemorations of the Commando Raid on St. Nazaire on 28th March 1942, and as such in Season 2, Episode 12 I will be featuring an interview that I did a few years ago with veteran Ernest Booth about his wartime service and experiences, as Ernest discussed with me during this interview his best friend from Sheffield, Gerry Taylor who took part in Operation Chariot, and was sadly destined to never return home. Ernest joined up with the Territorial Army along with his best friend Gerry just before the outbreak of war, and when hostilities broke out Ernest was eventually posted to the 4th Battalion Devonshire Regiment, whilst Gerry was sent to another Regiment altogether.
