The French Army in the First World War, a Discussion: Pt 6

Part 6 of the ongoing discussion continues to look at the French Army in 1916, and this time we focus on events and developments outside of the Verdun battlefield.

This episode will focus on the French Army's experience in 1916 outside of the Verdun battlefield.

Joining us for this discussion are:

  • Bart Debeer, who co-wrote a Dutch-language Western Front Guide for Beginners with a friend

  • Bryn Hammond, whose blog "Vingt Frong" aims to "awaken interest in the French experience of the First World War in an English-speaking audience," and author of the book "Cambrai 1917: The Myth of the First Great Tank Battle,"

  • Jim Smithson, author of "A Taste of Success: The First Battle of the Scarpe. The Opening Phase of the Battle of Arras 9-14 April 1917" and two guide books on the Arras battlefields,

Do listen in for the few moments when four grown men struggle with a microphone. :P
