Description

With the recent commemorations of Armistice Day marking the anniversary of the end of the First World War, this episode of the Alnwick Castle Podcast explores the wartime contributions of a selection of castle workers and members of the Percy family. Hosts Daniel and Deborah look at the 8th Duke of Northumberland and his siblings, members of the Stables department, the Castle Gate Porter and more in order to share the ways they served during the conflict.

Several of the people highlighted in today's episode were enlisted with the Northumberland Fusiliers - check out episodes 13 and 14 of the podcast if you'd like to know more about the regiment.
