It was all going so well for a while, but then the Third Battle of Ypres degenerated into a series of terrible failures in the attempt to get up on Passchendaele Ridge. A truly awful battle. Please share - thanks! open.spotify.com/episode/1OFBAi…

So this is the end beautiful friends. The Third Battle of Ypres staggers to a close and the question ever since is: was it all for nothing? And what about the men who suffered so much on all sides. War! What is it good for? Please share - thanks! open.spotify.com/episode/43oERQ…

One of our favourite battleground sites is Hougoumont Chateau, scene of savage fighting on 18 June 1815. The surviving buildings weave a very special spell. Please share - thanks! open.spotify.com/episode/7CS6vf…

Blood and guts galore in this our podcast: THE BATTLE OF TEL EL KEBIR, 13 September 1882. For Wolseley and the British everything went swimmingly, for the Egyptians it was a slaughter that ended their hopes of independence. Help by sharing - thanks chums!open.spotify.com/episode/4S8q4v…

Our latest podcast features the RISE OF THE MAHDI. While Britain hammered the Egyptians in the war of 1882, a new perceived threat arose deep in the Sudan. This would trigger a series of half-hearted reactions that culminated in disaster. Please share! open.spotify.com/episode/3Ou7FM…
