I vårt mest vadande avsnitt hittills går vi – på vår arbetsgivare Tobias Holdstocks begäran – igenom 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards pansrade öden och äventyr inför, på och efter Gold Beach 1944.Anglofoben Mattis är den som får hoppa ner i DD-stridsvagnen den här gången. Han beskriver förbandets upprättande, dess moraliska segrar 1940, dess faktiska segrar 1944 samt när Tobias farfar fick vatten i örat – vilket var mycket värre än det låter. Pers roll är den här gången att fnissa över britternas namngivning av förband.Stort tack till Tobias! Det här är hans personliga expressavsnitt.Vill du också ha ett personligt expressavsnitt?

In this episode I am joined by Ryan Sanson, a childhood friend and someone who I call a brother. Ryan Served in the British Army with The Royal Dragoon Guards. He shares with us his childhood, growing up in Bradford, United Kingdom. The north of England. Born to a white mother and black father he talks about the challenges he faced from a young age, being surrounded and dabbling in some criminal activity before reaching a turning point in his life and choosing to join the British Army. Ryan has deployed on 3 operational tours, Irag and Afghanistan twice. We discuss parts of these tours, what happened and how he faced some challenges on his return to the UK. Ryan accomplished a lot of things whilst serving from becoming an Army Physical Training Instructor and also qualifying as a Sniper. Since leaving the Army Ryan has embedded back into his community in Bradford where he works with troubled youth, helping lead and guide them through the challenges they face. Ryan also talks about doing security and how this has led him to travelling to Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo to provide security for I Heart Africa, a charity that raises money for poverty-stricken people and they help provide drinkable water, electricity and housing for as many people as they can. Ryan is also an active bare-knuckle boxer; he uses this not only as a personal drive to keep him focused but also to raise money for various charities. One of these being the Royal British Legion. Ryan is a humble lionheart who uses his experiences, voice and body to help anyone who seeks it by being an inspiration and example in everything he does.

In this episode, we grab a chat with artist David Kaye. David served as a soldier in The Royal Dragoon Guards and completed tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was able to offset his thoughts between patrols by drawing. In 2012 he terminated hid service and was diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). He used his passion for art to help him overcome some demons that followed and painting helped me defeat them. He has always had an interest in fine art, however, his greatest passion is cartoons. As a self-taught artist, he wanted his paintings to reflect the images that you would see on your TV screens, but with the added effect of a little bit of realism and some nice bright colours are thrown in.
