Our Yorkshire Farm star Reuben Owen reunites with 'all grown up' brothers

In a sneak preview for the upcoming episode of Life in the Dales, we see Reuben Owen catching up with his two younger siblings. The children initially gained public attention after appearing alongside their parents on Our Yorkshire Farm, and it was delightful to see how much they've matured during their short stint on Reuben's independent Channel 5 series.

The teaser showcases Reuben and Tommy tackling their most challenging task thus far. Reuben exclaims from atop the tractor: "It's putting up a fight, it doesn't want to go."

While conversing with a worried customer, he asks, "Are you alright if we cut the bushes out?" However, the response is less than enthusiastic: "No". We're introduced to Sid and Miles who join Miles at an auction, as narrated by Ralf Little. Sid reveals some excitement over a yellow Go-Kart before the group congratulates Tommy on reaching adulthood.

Thursday's broadcast left audiences feeling emotional, particularly when we see Reuben discovering more about his great-uncle, a decorated war veteran, first hand in France, reports the Express. Reuben, Sarah, and Tommy paid a visit to the resting place of this unknown relative, solemnly paying their tributes.

While visiting the military cemetery, the trio had a heart-to-heart conversation with historian Simon, who provided enriching insights about Reuben's great-uncle. He revealed that while certain soldiers' remains aren't buried in the cemetery, tombstones stand as reminders of their sacrifices.

"My great-uncle, Oliver-James died in the battle of Courcelette," Reuben disclosed as Simon pointed out their proximity to the historic site. They observed a row of Yorkshire soldiers' graves at the cemetery, including one who was only 19 years old, prompting Reuben to reflect, "My age, isn't it? " before he paid his respects at his great-uncle's grave.

Upon examining the gravestone, Simon informed Reuben that the actual remains of his great-uncle Oliver-James were buried beneath, not just commemorated by a marker. During their poignant exchange, Reuben expressed his astonishment: "Wow. And to think it is not far from here where he was fighting and died."

Simon shared some impressive details about Oliver-James with Reuben, stating, "We have learned that he was quite a brave soldier," and elaborated on his military recognition: "We know that in 1915, he was mentioned in dispatches, which is a lower grade of recognition of his gallantry in action."

Moreover, Simon conveyed that Oliver-James had been honoured with a military medal for his courage before his death, saying, "But then before he died, he was awarded a military medal for bravery in the field."

Reflecting on the brutal nature of war, Reuben remarked on the fate of the brothers: "Three (out of the four brothers) because one wasn't old enough to go and you get split up fairly early on from his brothers and that will be that, he never came back and he didn't see much of life if you think about it."

He also compared their own experience with that of his ancestor, adding: "We are on our first trip abroad, we are not having to fight, we are on holiday, he came across here on his first trip, he had to fight and he died."
