Description

Ron Yardley served on HMS Belfast during the Korean War. Following a recent audience with King Charles at Buckingham Palace, the 92-year old veteran feels that the conflict is no longer 'the forgotten war', but he still has work to do in educating the younger generation about events on the Korean Peninsula in the early 1950s.
Interview by Jonathan Kempster, Imperial War Museum Documents & Sound Archive, London, (5/4/2024).
