In this episode we travel to the Somme, Ypres and a forgotten battlefield to follow in the footsteps of a British soldier who enlisted under the “Derby Scheme” in December 1915. We discover how he arrived on the Somme battlefield during the final stages of this iconic battle, and was then awarded the Military Medal following an unknown attack in March 1917. We then follow his journey to the Passchendaele battlefield and onto the 1918 German Spring Offensive, where a “Blighty” wound ended his war. But what was the tragedy that Fred and his wife suffered during the 2nd World War?
