For those with BBC South, I can thoroughly recommend tonight (Mon 8th) at 7.30 pm where the Inside Out programme includes a report of Brian McD and various ex-Royals going out to France to honour Reading players and others who fought in the "Footballers' Battalions" in WWI.

Also a more detailed Radio broadcast on this subject on Friday on BBC Berks.
