Episode 139: Pozières: Australia's Bloodiest Battle of the Somme
from WW1: Not So Quiet On The Western Front! · host Dan Hill and Dr. Spencer Jones
The struggle for Pozieres would become one of the most infamous campaigns of the Battle of the Somme: some 23000 Australians would become casualties over six weeks fighting on a front barely three miles wide. The total casualties were comparable to Gallipoli and the outcome would be controversial. What happened at Pozieres and why did it degenerate into one of the bloodiest battles of the war for Australia?
