The Unconventional Soldier

theunconventionalsoldier

68 Episodes

A military podcast by former soldiers from 4/73 (Sphinx) Special Observation Post Battery Royal Artillery. The British Army’s long range Surveillance and Reconnaissance Patrols unit.

Our first series covers the inception of the unit with its founder Major General Anthony Stone CB, the selection of the soldiers, the unique ”stay behind” role during the Cold War, the multiple operational tours they deployed on over the last 40 years finishing on an interview with the current serving officer commanding the unit.

In subsequent series we have set ourselves a wider remit and cover first hand accounts of past conflicts from World War 2 to the War on Terror and everything in between . All our podcasts finish off with book & film reviews and recommendations. We normally upload a monthly episode (sometimes more).

This channel is for discerning listeners after something different who enjoy no-hype, great content.
