Peter and Gary explore the Second Battle of Krithia, which took place in the Helles sector of Gallipoli in May 1915. The battle was one of the most brutal of the campaign, and drew in troops from Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand. By the time it was over, the Allies realised just what a determined enemy they were facing, and any illusions of an easy victory on the Peninsula had been shattered.

Peter and Gary look closely at the French forces at the start of the First World War, and the vital role they played in the war's opening battles. How did they perform, and have they been misrepresented for too long?

Join Mat McLachlan, Peter Hart and Gary Bain for a special Anzac Day episode. Two podcasts come together - Living History and Peter Hart's Military History - to explore why Gallipoli means so much to Australia and NZ, why it means significantly less to Britain and France, and what the future of remembrance holds for the ill-fated campaign.

To commemorate the anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli, Peter and Gary return to the opening day of the campaign to discuss the disastrous British landing at Y Beach.

Peter and Gary discuss the turbulent life of fighter pilot Edward Mannock, one of the leading fighter aces of the First World War.

Peter and Gary explore a little-known chapter of WW2 history, the raid on the Lamba Doria artillery battery during the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943. In this well-orchestrated action, highly trained SAS soldiers overcame the Italian defences to pave the way for an amphibious assault on the beaches of south-eastern Sicily.

Although air technology was in its infancy in 1914, from the earliest days of the First World War both sides raced to bring flimsy flying machines to the battlefield. In this episode Peter and Gary discuss the earliest application of aircraft in warfare - what planes were used, who flew them and what did they do?

The Battle of Mons was the first major action fought by British troops in the First World War. In this fascinating episode, Peter and Gary explore the myths, reality and legacy of this pivotal battle, and try to unravel exactly what occurred on the battlefield of Mons in August 1914.

John Simpson must be the most famous Australian to serve at Gallipoli. According to legend, in the opening weeks of the campaign Simpson rescued hundreds of men, and came to embody the Anzac spirit. But how much of this is true, and how much has been shrouded in myth and mystery? In this fascinating episode, Peter and Gary explore John Simpson, the man, and try to shed new light on this most enduring of Gallipoli legends.
