In our third and final Bonus Episode that brings Season 8 to a close, we have a live recording from the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, recorded while out leading a battlefield tour a few weeks ago. We reflect on the subjects we have covered on the podcast, on what the Menin Gate means to us, and how the whole subject of the Great War continues to develop.

  2. One of your finest episodes. I’m visiting Ypres this week for the first time ever, largely thanks to you and your efforts.

  4. Thank you for taking me back virtually until I return physically next month, I too often walk around the gate after the crowds have dispersed and wonder at the ghosts 👍

  5. Thank you for a brilliant episode!! Your podcasts are really interesting and informative. Returned in June after visiting in 2016 during the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of The Somme and will be returning next July and laying a wreath at the Menin Gate in my Girlguiding uniform.
