  • Resumen

  • In this episode, we travel to the Somme and begin our journey at one of the most iconic sites on the battlefield, the Basilica at Albert. We hear about its founding and discover more about the legend of the Golden Virgin.

    We leave Albert, head onto the battlefields over the Tara and Usna line, and visit the Lochnagar Crater at La Boiselle. Just to the right of the crater on the 2nd of July 1916, a Victoria Cross was won by one of the great characters of the First World War. A man whose life was a real "Boy's Own" tale of dangerous escapes and seizing every moment of every day - of course, we are talking about Adrian Ghislain Carton de Wiart VC KBE CB CMG DSO. who, when asked about his experience of the Great War, famously replied, "The War? Oh, I rather enjoyed it!"
