RAF Caribbean Aces of WWII
We chatted with On Parade’s Neil Davies, a former Parachute Regiment soldier, award-winning filmmaker, and stand-up comic turned writer, about making a film with the Spice Girls and his thrilling novel, Falling Soldiers.
Meet Maureen Dickson, a former U.S. Realtor, TV presenter, producer, and oral historian. Her passion for history deepened after a life-changing conversation with her terminally ill father about the war years. Inspired by his stories, Maureen set out to document the experiences of Caribbean ex-servicemen, preserving their legacy for future generations.

Former Royal Artillery veteran and On Parade UK co-host Johno made a Remembrance wreath at the famous Poppy Factory in Richmond to personally lay it on Gunner Manley's grave at the Poperinghe New Military Cemetery, Belgium. But who was he?
During World War I, 306 British and Commonwealth soldiers were executed for desertion and other capital offences. Herbert Morris, age 17, was one of them. On Parade visited the National Memorial. Arboretum in Staffordshire, England, and travelled to the Poperinge Death Cells in Belgium to learn more.
COMEDY PERFORMANCE TRAINING FOR VETERANS
Two years in the making, co-hosted by The Comedy School and On Parade, a new stand-up comedy course for Veterans launched at The Comedy School London in January 2023.
The pilot course was an NHS study for veterans who have previously experienced mental health difficulties and is in partnership with NHS, The Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Service, Op COURAGE and supported by The National Lottery Community Fund.
I would like to wish Neil, and Johno continued success with their work and podcast, helping veterans.
