So this is the end beautiful friends. The Third Battle of Ypres staggers to a close and the question ever since is: was it all for nothing? And what about the men who suffered so much on all sides. War! What is it good for? Please share - thanks! open.spotify.com/episode/43oE...

Had a lovely card/letter and a box of biscuits from a local man, thanking me for the information i provided about his grandfather's service in the Great War. There are some nice people still around in this tough world of ours
