This Season 2 audio podcast was originally published in podcast apps 15 June 2018.

Alex Lloyd speaks with World War II and Korea veteran Doug Symes Snr.

Life on the Line tracks down Australian war veterans and records their stories. Every week we also have a bonus episode, where we speak to historians, authors and others in the veterans community. Today's bonus episode is with a World War II and Korean War navy veteran, Doug Symes Snr. Doug shared stories of his childhood, his family's wartime service and his own experiences of life on the sea. This conversation focuses a lot on Doug's life pre-war, showcasing how this cataclysmic conflict affected the average Australian family.

Doug Symes Snr returned to the podcast in the special miniseries LIFE ON THE SEA - available now on YouTube and in podcast apps. (Post Season 2, 2018.)
