Short interview conducted by Vicky MaCdonald during the ‘Longest Yarn’ with visitors that shared personal memories and family stories in reaction to the exhibition. The Longest Yarn exhibition was a month-long tribute to the War Effort behind the D-Day Landings of 1944 - displaying a 3D tapestry depicting D-Day in 80 panels – was held at the Holy Trinity Church, Llandudno (October 2–27, 2024).

David Gosling shares the WWII story of his father, Peter Gosling. Too young to enlist at the start, Peter joined the Home Guard before becoming an engineer with the Royal Engineers in India and Burma. He rose to Warrant Officer Class 2 by age 20 and commanded a daring rescue mission behind Japanese lines to save a battalion with dysentery, earning a mention in dispatches. Although he left the army for a successful civilian career, Peter always wondered about staying in the military. His story, discovered later by family, is now preserved at the Royal Engineers Museum.
