See Hear, the BBC’s programme for the Deaf
and Hard of hearing and planning to broadcast a special Remembrance Day episode
on 9 November and are keen to find personnel or incident-related stories
relating to deafness in conflict or military service.
At
the moment their remit is quite wide, so they can identify potential stories.
So, you don’t need to have served in the Armed Forces, if you were a civilian in
a back-up role such as Fire Watching, Munitions Production, Land Army, Nursing,
driving or any of the other myriad roles that need filling during times of
conflict, then consider sharing your story.
In
fact anything to do with war or conflict, in either the Second World War or more
recently in Northern Ireland, the Falklands Conflict, Iraq, Kuwait, the Balkans
. . . would be of interest to See Hear, if it involves deafness or hearing
loss. Ideally they are looking either for people who have suffered serious
hearing loss due to military action or Service or people who were born deaf but
have been able to serve in some way during one of the nation’s conflicts.
Further details about the potential stories See Hear are looking for, can be
found here.
To
be considered for the programme, send a brief synopsis of your story via email
to John Lakey BBC
researcher or call 0121 567660. Then
he may contact you to look into it in more detail. Please remember to include:
your contact details, email, phone and address.
Its really a good post, which seems to be very much informative as well as interesting too.
