Welcome to this latest episode!

Today we are in Belgium and walk the battlefield to the south of Ypres, beginning at Bedford House Cemetery and finishing at the Spanbroekmolen mine crater, the "Pool of Peace", created by the largest mine explosion from the Battle of Messines.  We visit the cemeteries and memorials on this part of the battlefield to learn what happened, and what can still be seen.
