with Emily Mayhew, Roderick Bailey & Santanu Das
There are aspects of the Great War often forgotten or little known. Santanu Das of King’s College, London reminds us what a particular hell the first freezing winter was for the soldiers of the Indian Army, who were among the first into the trenches. Imperial College’s Emily Mayhew, author of Wounded: From Battlefield to Blighty 1914 –1918, tells the stories of the courageous doctors and nurses, chaplains and stretcher bearers dealing with unprecedented carnage. And Oxford University’s Roderick Bailey uses the testimony of shot down Zeppelin crews to recount the battering Blighty got.
