FROM AMIENS TO ARMISTICE 11 | Battlefield Tour Day 2 - Briefing | Hew Strachan

A series of podcasts commissioned by UCL INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION'S FIRST WORLD WAR CENTENARY EDUCATION PROGRAMME to mark the CENTENARY of the BATTLE OF AMIENS on 8 August 1918. In August 2018, students from across the United Kingdom joined students from France, the United States, Canada and Australia on the Western Front to commemorate the Battle of Amiens. This podcast series, recorded mostly during that battlefield tour, tell the story of the Battle of Amiens in the wider context of the First World War and the road to armistice. In this podcast, we join PROFESSOR SIR HEW STRACHAN on the second day of the battlefield tour for his morning briefing to the students when he considers the evolution of the War in 1918, and why the Battle of Amiens in August was such a success for the Allied Forces.
