Welcome to our new season! In this first episode Mat tells the story of the winter of 1916/17, one of the harshest ordeals faced by Australian soldiers in the First World War.


Topics include the end of the Battle of the Somme; the attacks at Flers in November 1916; the devastating effect on morale of living in the frigid conditions; the remarkable story of Harry Murray, our most decorated soldier of the war; and a mispositioned memorial that reveals a rare piece of Australian history.


Presenter: Mat McLachlan

Producer: Jess Stebnicki
