  Nice nod to the Somme with a moving first hand account of the fighting at High Wood from James Lansdale Hodson on BBCRadio4 Rewinder today.

  From Ypres in 1914 to the ruins of 1918, we explore Christmas on the Western Front in Flanders, the famous Christmas Truce, a lesser-known truce in the Canadian sector in 1915, and how soldiers endured the Great War’s harshest winters.
  

  Winter in Flanders

  In this episode, we explore the four brutal wartime winters in Flanders during the First World War, focusing on the Western Front around Ypres from 1914 to 1918. Beginning with the establishment of the British front line at Ypres in late 1914, we examine how soldiers endured cold, mud, and constant danger during the Great War’s earliest winter, including the famous Christmas Truce of 1914.
