BattleWalk 58: The Somme - Serre

Mat and Pete return to the Somme battlefields to explore the horrific tale of July 1st, 1916. Today they are walking the ground around the village of Serre, an area that saw the virtual destruction of the Pals Battalions from the north of England. As they tell the tale of the boys from Sheffield, Accrington, Hull, Leeds and other communities they will visit the sites of memorials, preserved trenches and battlefield cemeteries in the middle of no man's land.Presenters: Mat McLachlan and Peter SmithProducer: Jess StebnickiBecome a member to listen ad-free and to receive exclusive bonus episodes from only $2.99 per month!: https://plus.acast.com/s/battlewalksSupport the show with a one-off donation: www.buymeacoffee.com/battlewalksFollow us on Twitter @BattleWalks and Facebook @Battle.WalksFor more great history content, visit www.LivingHistoryTV.com, or subscribe to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/c/LivingHistoryTV Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/battlewalks.
