Dear God give us some cover - the battle of Aubers Ridge
Send us Fan MailOur 10th episode takes us back to Northern France, where we visit the battlefield of the British offensive against the Aubers Ridge. What was supposed to be a gentle stroll across the Artois countryside, turned into an offensive that was abandoned after only 15 hours. By the time night fell, over 11,000 men were killed, wounded, or missing, and the German lines remained staunchly in German hands. The tiny Sussex village of Wadhurst paid a heavy price that day, and their memory of the dead has seen the creation of a magnificent English country garden in the village of Aubers itself.
