In the latest @OldFrontLinePod QnA we ask: was Bouzincourt Ridge really a “grandstand view” on 1 July 1916? How were unidentified soldiers buried? How was the Battle of the Somme fought day-to-day, and how accurate is Birdsong? oldfrontline.co.uk/2026/05/02/que…

@sommecourt @OldFrontLinePod Great episode I could have listened to Arthur for another few hours at least the conversation flowed between you, both clearly interested in what the other had to say Bravo!

@sommecourt @OldFrontLinePod What and informative and interesting podcast/ chat this was, have brought Arthur's voices of Gallipoli thanks to link in show notes. Part of The Great War I would like to know more about.

A great episode! Kept me company during my commute home. So nice to be drawn away from hectic periods in my life. Thanks Paul. 🙏 The Bad Luck Battalion oldfrontline.co.uk/2026/04/25/the… via @OldFrontLinePod

My @OldFrontLinePod #Podcast hosted by @buzzsprout went past 2M downloads today - amazing for something born during those Covid times which has given me great pleasure to produce and I've met so many great people. Thanks for all your support and listens!

@TJGodden @sommecourt Hope you find it of interest, Tim!

@sommecourt @OldFrontLinePod I’m looking forward to listening to this one, Paul. What a fantastic theme to explore.

A special episode of @OldFrontLinePod with Professor Mark Connelly exploring landscape, memory & identity in #WW1. From England’s chalk downlands to the battlefields of France, we examine how familiar landscapes shaped soldiers’ emotions & experience. oldfrontline.co.uk/2026/04/11/cha…

@sommecourt @OldFrontLinePod Very interesting listen, never really thought about how similar the landscape of the chalk downloads was to battlefields of France,,will look at it differently next time I visit.
