    S5E14 Susie Cooper - Battlefield Guide, UK

    Today's guest became a free-lance battlefield tour guide after a career in the Royal Corps of Signals that included tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now a captain in the Army Reserve, Susie Cooper took a love of military history and battlefield staff rides to a post-military career taking everyone from school children to military officers on battlefield tours in the UK and Europe. She does tours for CGT Battlefield Tours, Anglia Tours, In the Gootsepts, Sopue's Great War Tours, Battle Honors, and The Cultural Experience (where she teams with Bill for an AMAZING Vietnam tour!), as well as field studies trips for the British Army. In addition to her Reserve duties and guiding, Susie is also a volunteer with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. If you've been anywhere from Normand to Ypres to Berlin recently, you may have encountered Susie in her preferred habitat. The downside to her many days of travel is missing her dog Charlie and changing to an artificial Christmas tree! We'll talk women in battlefield tourism, being a career NCO then commissioning in the Army Reserve, Queen, currywurst, the value of visiting battle sites, and many other topics. Enjoy!
