Padre Skinner's War

At the suggestion of the Sherwood Rangers Regimental Association, Falling Tree Productions has made available an audio CD of the Remembrance Sunday radio feature based on the war diary of Padre Leslie Skinner.  He served from D-Day (in fact, he was the first Chaplain to land with the invasion) to beyond VE-Day. 

This half hour programme features three of the Chaplain's comrades - John Semken, David Render and Ernest Hawkins - and their memories are interspersed with extracts from the Padre's diary, The Man Who Worked on Sundays, read by his daughter, Annette, and two serving chaplains.

Padre Skinner's War was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Remembrance Sunday 13 November 2005.
