Lance Corporal Mike Baronowski was killed in action on 29 November 1966 in Vietnam. He left behind an extraordinary legacy of recordings, which he had sent home to family and friends. They contain vivid and often comic reflections on his battlefield environment and experiences. The story of his life and death is told through the tapes, which were left to collect dust on top of a cupboard for 30-odd years, and from the differing perspectives of two Marine comrades and Baronowski's brother and sister.
First broadcast on 2nd August 2003, BBC Radio 4 Produced by Alan Hall
