The Last Men to Die
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the guns on the western front fell silent.
And yet, the carnage of the First World War continued that morning right up until the very end. This is the story of some of the men who lost their lives that morning.
Thursday 21st November
Horror on the Home Front
During the First World War, thousands of women stepped up to do the jobs that men had tradiotanlly done.
Their, often over-looked, contribution to the war effort came at a terrible price. Not least, for the women employed in Britain’s munitions factory.
This is the story of one such factory, and a terrifying explosion in 1918.
