In this episode of the WW2 Nation Podcast, we hear veteran Peter Davies recall his wartime experiences serving in No. 1 Troop of B Squadron of the 1st East Riding Yeomanry as a gunner on a Sherman Tank during the Second World War. He had originally enlisted with the RAF as a wireless operator, but then was transferred to the Army which at that moment had been desperately short of winless operators. Having landed on D-Day, he and his crew fought all the way through to VE Day where they finished up in the area of Biesbosch. They were incredibly lucky, as despite suffering several glancing blows - 'Bandit' - Peter's tank was never knocked out. This episode is the first of a few instalments from this interview, that I did with Peter back in December 2019, it has been split into a few different parts, of which I will be releasing on the Podcast over the coming few weeks.
