- A must listen for anyone interested in WW1
I always tune in from the antipodes for my tales from the battlefields expertly narrated by Terry.
Being originally from the motherland and doing some research on relatives who served in WW1 this series is a must listen to podcast.
Keep up the excellent work👍

Australia2 months ago - Wonderful
I’ve only recently come to this excellent podcast series. The Great War has some resonance as two of my Great uncle’s died during the conflict, one killed in action, one from Spanish Flu at the end of the war. Also my Grandfather fought in both world wars & was gassed during WW1 suffering with chest problems for the rest of his life.
There are a couple of podcasts dealing with this conflict but I’ve found this one is the only one to cover it from a truly human standpoint which helps me understa... more

United Kingdom9 months ago - Wonderful and emotive podcast
I have been catching up on all of the episodes since finding this podcast as few months ago and love the way Terry mixes the history with the untold personal stories. It is clear that this means so much to a man who devotes so much time and effort to the memory of these people and I really commend that this podcast focuses more on the individual story than the mass matter of fact.
I know how hard doing interviews is, especially online, but would encourage trying not to talk over guests or fin... more

Belgiuma year ago - Bringing History Alive
This is an excellent series of podcasts. They are clearly very well researched and Terry brings the episodes alive with personal stories about specific individuals as well as general details about the units and the battles.
It’s the personal stories which make them special for me and the empathic way they are delivered really makes you think about the impact of the Great War on individuals and families.
My only gripe about this podcast is that it’s costing me a fortune in books. Terry, pleas... more
