Bruce McCay. Audio 2 - Encounter with Hauptman Lange

Description

In this second audio recording of an interview with World War Two Veteran Bruce McCay, the interviewer hears Bruce talking about an incident that occurred on the eastern side of the River Aller (Alder) in Germany during April 1945. Bruce encountered a German Hauptman, Richard Lange, and the two survivors exchanged letters some 54 years later. A written account of this incident can be read on line at Appendix A in the narrative that accompanies Bruce's story in the Bruce McCay collection at the West Wales Veterans Archive on the Peoples Collection Wales website. Viewers can also see photographs of Bruce and sketches he made illustrating his war.

*** This audio and the narrative account contains descriptions of battle. Viewer discretion advised ***

*Bruce was 99 years of age when he gave this interview and his voice can be a little hard to understand at times due to his hearing loss
