Episode 138: Somme's Woodland: Mametz, Trônes, Delville & High Wood
About this episode
This episode explores the significance of woodland terrain during the Battle of the Somme.
There was no terrain on the Somme that soldiers feared more than woodland - a maze of broken stumps, fallen branches, and hidden barbed wire. In this episode we explore how and why the woods of the Somme became such a crucial part of the battle.
