Welcome to today's episode!

For the first time, we have created a listener's request podcast; I was contacted by a listener who discovered his Grandfather had been killed at Hill 70 while serving with the Cameron Highlanders at the Battle of Loos in 1915. The listener is planning his first-ever trip to the Western Front and wants to walk the battlefield where his Grandfather was killed. He asked if I could do a podcast about that area - your wish is my command!

We begin with an overview of the fighting on the Loos battlefield and then walk a circular route around Hill 70 and Bois Hugo to explore what happened and what remains to be seen to this day.
