Hello & Welcome to Veterans Voices UK

10/24/24 • 2 min

In this special introductory episode, host Matt Limb introduces you to Veterans Voices UK, a podcast dedicated to capturing the personal stories of British military veterans across generations. From the battlefields of World War Two to more recent conflicts, we explore not only their experiences in conflict but also the unique lives behind the service — their challenges, triumphs, and personal sacrifices.

But Veterans Voices UK is more than just a collection of war stories; it’s a platform for veterans to share their untold experiences in their own words. By preserving these stories, we honour their legacies and ensure future generations can appreciate the courage, resilience and humanity of those who have served.

Subscribe today on your favourite podcast platform to join a growing community passionate about remembering and celebrating our veterans. Plus for exclusive updates and ways to get involved, visit our website at www.veteransvoices.uk and sign up for our VIP Newsletter.
