Great work, i really hope more of the younger generations get to watch you guys so they can learn about the bravery, courage and the suffering, loss and brutality of war. You are now carrying the torch of the memories and voices of the men and woman of WW1 as a former soldier the importance of push there stories is a significantly important one. As a species i think we are falling short of learning from our past!! Excellent work ladies and gents 😊
Very immersive tour. Unbelievable how Lucy’s voice guides one through the field and the events of those days. Thanks
Amazing channel. I dare say, the best WW1 AND WW2 deep dive channel on the whole YouTube. There are really good ones, but the then and now map overlay is frigging awesome. Great job.
Did this walk last Friday with the assistance of Linesman, fantastic to have some great background to the story of the 13th November. Superbly told by Lucy and fantastic overlay graphics and drone work. Well done!
Wow, the modern maps, and graphics and drone fotage all put together is amazing. Hats off to whoever did that
My great uncle Jack was in Nelson. I have researched it over the years. This is the best insight yet. Thank you Lucy! Best wishes, Graham Todd
As someone who reenacts the Drake Battalion in the states I really enjoyed this video. It was great to see the terrain of the battle and have a fantastic explanation. I hope to visit some day, and pay my respects. That poem at the end really hits you hard. Thanks for a great video.
Lucy thank you so much for this, wonderfully presented and brilliantly put together. I have found out this evening that my great, great uncle was killed near Beaumont-Hamel (Bedfordshire Regiment, 6th Bn.), and is buried on the hill north of it. I shall visit soon.
Thanks
Enjoying the combination of location and details of battle movements. Good work 👍
My great uncle William Baldwin was in the RMLI and probably involved in this battle. He died on 14 February 1917 and is buried at Ancre Cemetery
Excellent video may I say. It brought back memories of visiting Passchendale and the Yrpres salient some years ago. Thank you for your detailed knowledge with aided maps and the soldiers personal accounts of the battle.
It is amazing how much details has Lucy brings into this Tour! Thank you for the amazing tour!
Very much enjoyed the tour and it’s format. Thank you. I can’t see the button to make a contribution. Cheers.
Another fascinating, evocative and vivid history, bringing the battle to life. Thanks for all the hard work, it's a great format, too...
