FROM AMIENS TO ARMISTICE 4 | Battlefield Tour Day 1 - Briefing | Hew Strachan

A series of podcasts commissioned by UCL INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION'S FIRST WORLD WAR CENTENARY EDUCATION PROGRAMME to mark the CENTENARY of the BATTLE OF AMIENS on 8 August 1918. In August 2018, students from across the United Kingdom joined students from France, the United States, Canada and Australia on the Western Front to commemorate the Battle of Amiens. The following podcasts, recorded during that battlefield tour, tell the story of the Battle of Amiens in the wider context of the First World War and the road to armistice. In this podcast, we join PROFESSOR SIR HEW STRACHAN on the first day of the battlefield tour for his morning briefing to the students before they visited the Somme battlefields to explore how lessons learned during the Battle of the Somme would influence the Battle of Amiens in 1918.
