About this episode

This episode explores the harsh realities of surviving in the trenches during the Gallipoli campaign of World War I.

Have you ever wondered what it was actually like to survive in the trenches of the Gallipoli Front in the First World War? Not the battles we read about in textbooks, but the heat, the flies, the constant shellfire, and only metres from the enemy. In this episode we ask, and answer those very questions.
