Old Front Line
WW1 Podcast with Paul Reed
Walking The Somme: Guillemont
In this episode we walk the Somme battlefields between Trônes Wood and the village of Guillemont. We follow the story of Noel Chavasse VC & Bar, the son of a Royal Academy artist, Raymond Asquith whose father was Prime Minister, and discover how the stories of men from either side of No Man’s Land collided in a sunken lane. Our WW1 object is a small Old Comrades badge; what does it tell us about veterans of the Great War?
Yet another brilliant podcast followed on google maps and website

Just listened to the podcast. Very evocative, particularly the epitaphs. You mentioned Hitchcock’s ‘Stand To!’ and it’s relative rarity. There is now a Kindle version of the 90s reprint
.

Another brilliant podcast all the more special with Noel Chevasse’s story. Very lucky to see his grave on a battlefield trip in 2017 something very special looking at 2 VC’s on the headstone.

Another absorbing podcast.You have a real gift in taking your listeners directly to the places you talk about. I had a Great Uncle who was a member of 55th DAC and may well have served near here in August 1916.
