    Britain and Portugal...It’s the longest continuing alliance in global history… and Winston Churchill said it was an alliance “without parallel in world history”.

    In today’s Podcast we will explore some forgotten conflicts like that of 1762 . . .then we’ll take a look at how the two armies fought side by side in the Peninsular war and take a deep look at the Battle of Bussacco - the battle that forged the Portuguese army.

    We’ll then examine the role of the "Pork and beans" as they were known on the western front in the First World War.

    It’s fascinating stuff.

    Stay tuned till the end to find out how The Portuguese also played a part in Britain’s Falklands campaign in 1982.
