WW1 Podcast with Paul Reed
In this latest Old Front Line Podcast Questions & Answers Episode we answer four questions from listeners asking what is the most memorable story of the Great War I’ve visited, what battlefield draws me back time and again, what did British troops think about Australians and Canadians, and what was the weaponry of ordinary soldiers and how did that change during the war?
This is how the German Army rated British and Commonwealth Divisions in the Great War, taken from a 1916 report by the Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL):
Good – 47th, 6th, 20th, 50th, 18th, 1st Canadian, 2nd Canadian
Medium – 11th, 39th, 41st, 3rd Canadian, NZ
Poor – 61st, 40th, 60th, 63rd, 3rd Australian, 5th Australian, 4th Canadian

Excellent Q and A, the ratings of the various British and Empire divisions was especially interesting. Chris Duffy covered this aspect in his 2006 book on the Somme through German Eyes.

I meant “were” interesting. I seem to have problems logging on/leaving comments at the moment!
