Bringing Eddie Home - Radio Drama Documentary

1 x 45 mins

A dramatisation of a true story.

In 1965, Britain was withdrawing from its base in Aden (now in Yemen). A young soldier was killed by insurgents. His parents received an impersonal telegram to tell them of his death and that their son would be buried in Aden. They pursued a campaign to bring their son's body home and to ensure that grieving families should never again be dealt with so insensitively by the British military and government.

An extraordinary story of one couple's determination.
