Despatches: Battlefield Pilgrimages
In this latest edition of Despatches we look at the phenomena of Battlefield Pilgrimages which began almost as soon as the Great War ended and continued throughout the 1920s and 30s. What were they? What motivated people to go on a pilgrimage to the battlefields and what can we find of their history in a new book on the subject?
Mike Hill's new book: Pilgrimage to the Western Front
Terry Whenham's Podcast on the Great Pilgrimage 1928.
