The History Things Podcast

On July 1 Pat and Matt were joined by guest Rob Enfield, the brains and face behind the brilliant YouTube channel, British Muzzleloaders. Rob gave us a great run down of the lead up to the Battle of the Somme and the bloodliest day in the history of the British Empire, July 1, 1916.
Now Rob is back to expound on the Somme Campaign! The rest of the story and the months long endeavor to make something of the brutal fighting that occured there. Rob also dives into the specifics of some of the smaller engagements in the overarching Battle of the Somme and discusses the unique position of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during this campaign.
So join us as we go back to the trenches of the Western Front and dig in with Rob from British Muzzleloaders!
