    In this episode we once again travel to the Somme battlefield and discover the story of the 8th Battalion of the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry on the first day of the battle. We discover their story in their own words, rather than the history books. We find out what it was like to be stranded in No Man’s Land for several days, whilst being sniped at by German marksmen. And how a Mother, whose son had been killed, received his Military Medal from the King when he visited their home town of Hull in 1917.

  • 134: The Boys of Bethune
    2025/06/12
    In this episode we travel to the town of Bethune in Northern France to discover the stories of the men that died in a Casualty Clearing Station and are now at rest here. We find the final resting place of an NCO who was murdered by 2 of his men, who were executed for their crime and then buried a few hundred yards away from their victim. And who was the Indian soldier buried in Bethune who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross in 1914. We also find out why a medic’s original grave marker remains in place today, rather than a Portland headstone. And much more too.
