Episode description
In this episode we travel to the Ypres battlefields to a place called Pond Farm, a German Headquarters in 1917 and a location where Canadian General Arthur Currie was located during the gas attack in 1915.
We talk to Stijn Butaye, who lives on the farm and has established his own private museum and built a replica British WW1 tank. Stijn talks to us about his museum and explains what it was like to be at Pond Farm during the Great War.
We also talk to Michael and Susan Wyatt from Melbourne, Australia, as we follow in the footsteps of their relatives who died at Ypres."
