Welcome to the latest episode!

In a slightly shorter episode than usual, we travel to Belgium and discover the story of two lieutenants, Lt Ronald Poulton Palmer and Lt Frederick "Tanky" Turner, rugby captains of England and Scotland respectively.

Rivals on the rugby pitch and comrades in the military, we look at the lives and careers of these two great characters, their deaths and the remarkable ceremony that brought a little piece of London to Belgium.

Welcome to this latest episode!

Today we are in Belgium and walk the battlefield to the south of Ypres, beginning at Bedford House Cemetery and finishing at the Spanbroekmolen mine crater, the "Pool of Peace", created by the largest mine explosion from the Battle of Messines. We visit the cemeteries and memorials on this part of the battlefield to learn what happened, and what can still be seen.
