BBC - The People Remember Series 2 (2015) Part 3 Courage and Sacrifice

The People Remember Series 2

The People Remember returns with a second series honouring heroes of war, both on the battlefield and on the home front. All week, Sophie Raworth and former army officer Andy Torbet present from the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire.

Part 3 Courage and Sacrifice

EastEnders actress June Brown shares her wartime memories, from being an evacuee to seeing Coventry go up in flames after German raids. We hear from a man whose life was saved by an act of great courage from his sister who sheltered him from a bomb attack on a London school. Presenter Andy Torbet explores some of the exhibits at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford in Cambridgeshire, including General Montgomery's office in a caravan. There is also the moving story of an Indian soldier who saved the life of his British commanding officer and a stirring performance of a wartime classic by the world's only one-handed concert pianist Nicholas McCarthy.
