Episode Details

In honor of National Military Month and Memorial Day, this poignant episode of Big Blend Radio's "English Connection" with Glynn Burrows—historian and owner of Norfolk Tours in England—reflects on how we can respectfully remember those who lived through and lost their lives in World War I and World War II.

Glynn shares personal insights into the deeply rooted culture of remembrance in the UK, where nearly every village, town, and city has a war memorial bearing the names of locals who sacrificed their lives. These tributes serve as daily reminders of a shared history of loss and resilience.
