Dukes Service Memories

This section contains transcripts of interviews by Tracy Craggs, the Regimental Audio Archivist at RHQ. In 2004 the Lottery 'Awards for All' scheme and the Calderdale Funding Foundation kindly granted funds to enable Tracy Craggs to interview around 70 veterans of the Regiment, Particularly those serving in the Korean War. Our thanks go to those charitable organisations.

Tracy will travel the length and breadth of the country, and beyond, if she can get funding, for a good story. The more down to earth it is the better she likes it. (Read Cpl Dawson - Ed-Team). So if you really know the stuff, that it's time to let the rest of the regiment know about, leave Tracy a message at RHQ. If we can obtain more funding for Tracy to do other interviews we will contact you.
