Summary

Film of Owen Barfield and Leo Baker talking about their experiences whilst serving in the first world war, and of their lives as undergraduates at Wadham College, Oxford. They reminisce about their friends Eric Beckett, Cecil Harwood, and C.S. Lewis. Filmed by his son, Jeffrey Barfield, in the study at Orchard View, Dartford, Kent, in the Summer of 1984. The film is 24 minutes and 27 seconds long. It was originally recorded on VHS videotape and converted to a DVD, which accounts for the poor picture quality.
