FROM AMIENS TO ARMISTICE 9 | Battlefield Tour Day 1 - Thiepval Memorial to the Missing

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. This podcast series, recorded mostly 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 at the THIEPVAL MEMORIAL to the missing, which dominates the Somme landscape for miles around. Engraved on the Memorial itself are the names of more than 72,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers who have no known grave.
