Welcome to the latest episode!

Today, we walk the canal at Cuinchy, one of the forgotten battlefields of the Great War.  Cuinchy was the site of the infamous brickstacks and the scene of bitter fighting throughout the entire war.

We walk the battlefield to discover the military history of what happened here, and hear the personal stories of the dead as we visit some of the nearby cemeteries.
