Peter Colman worked at the local Heathcoat Yarns factory where he was apprenticed to Danilo Maglov, a European Voluntary Worker from present-day Croatia who settled permanently in Tiverton after WWII.

In his interview, he talks about his memories of Danilo (Danny), including his reluctance to talk about his experience during the war in Yugoslavia, his skill at card games, and his frequent practical jokes.
