Show Notes
New Ypres League member Rosie Barron joins the podcast to discuss her work as part of the Joint Casualty & Compassionate Centre, aka the MOD War Detectives.
Join us for a fascinating conversation with someone whose daily work is to help identify the missing and unknown soldiers of the Great War and beyond.
Note: This podcast was recorded on August 20th, 2026, the day after news broke that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Harry and Meghan) would be moving back to the UK, so that's why the references to them are in there.
