156: Under Shellfire, Into a German Dugout and an Australian Pilot Far from Home
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
In this episode we try to gain a deeper understanding of what it was like to live, fight and die on the Western Front. Through the eyes of the soldiers who were there, we venture into an abandoned German dugout on the Somme and discover how a British soldier comforted a wounded German in his final moments. This story demonstrates the compassion and spirit between enemies. We compare the impact of shellfire in built up areas, on civilians and soldiers, compared to being in the shelter of the trenches and we also discover a young pilot from Australia who is buried in Norfolk. Who was he?
