Old Front Line
WW1 Podcast with Paul Reed
Questions and Answers Episode 39
In this episode we ask what is the current size of the ‘Zone Rouge’ and are there plans to clear it? We then look at the use of morphine to treat pain and was this misused? We then look at when Steel Helmets were first issued to British and Canadian troops, and end by asking what WW1 slang words are still in use today?

Hi Paul
Whilst watching All Quiet on the western front film on Netflix, there’s a scene at the start where Soldiers die on the battlefield and their uniforms gets recycled for the next wave of Soldiers, did this really happen? and did the BEF adopt this manner ?
