FROM AMIENS TO ARMISTICE 7 | Caterpillar Valley
Channel: ChromeRadio
Date: 2019-03-31

A series of podcasts commissioned by UCL INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION'S FIRST WORLD WAR CENTENARY EDUCATION PROGRAMME to mark the CENTENARY of the BATTLE OF AMIENS on 8 August 1918.

In August 2018, students from across the United Kingdom joined students from France, the United States, Canada and Australia on the Western Front to commemorate the Battle of Amiens. This podcast series, recorded mostly during that battlefield tour, tell the story of the Battle of Amiens in the wider context of the First World War and the road to armistice.

In this podcast, we join the students on their visit to a battlefield cemetery in CATERPILLAR VALLEY. Situated in the southern sector of the Somme battlefield, this was a part of the Front where there were Allied successes during the Somme offensive.

CONTRIBUTORS | Simon Bendry, Director, First World War Centenary Battlefield Tour Programme, UCL Institute of Education - Sir Hew Strachan, Professor of International Relations, University of St Andrews.
