All Together Now - The Shorncliffe Trust Podcast Shorncliffe Trust

This week, Chairman Chris Shaw and Shorncliffe Trustees Steven Head and James O'Brien talk all things rugby, as we celebrate the Six Nations Rugby Tournament and Rugby's place in the story of the First World War.
Author of The Final Whistle, Stephen Cooper, talks to us about the journey he took to tell the stories of a generation of young men, who once found glory on the rugby field but were tragically lost on the foreign fields of France in The Great War.
Plus, former RFU Referee John Dennison tells us about his involvement in creating the Rugby Memorial in France and how a simple conversation led to creating a global Armed Services Rugby Database, telling the stories of Rugby Players all over the world who fought and died in WWI and WWII.
