Episode 129: What Was It Really Like to Survive Gallipoli?

from WW1: Not So Quiet On The Western Front! · host Dan Hill and Dr. Spencer Jones

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.
