In this episode, I talk about three minor attacks by the BEF in June and July 1918, at Le Becque, Le Hamel and Meteren. We then see how the Germans launched their final offensive in the Champagne Region on 15 July. After just 72 hours the advance had stalled along the River Marne, and the French counter-attacked with British help on 18 July. I explain the British efforts against the shoulders of the salient, until the German front collapsed on 1 August.

Faire la jonction avec Omaha Le secteur de Gold s’étend sur 7,5km, entre les deux communes de Ver-sur-Mer, à l’Est, et de Saint-Côme-de-Fresné, à l’Ouest ; précisément entre les hameaux de « La rivière » et du Hamel. Cette bande de littoral est défendue par de nombreux bunkers, canons et mitrailleuses, particulièrement devant « Le Hamel », où les Britanniques rencontrent une très forte résistance. Les combats durent toute la journée dans ce secteur, fermant la porte d’Arromanches et de Port-en-Bessin, objectifs de la 50e division, le Jour J. Dans cet épisode, Ouest-France vous propose de revivre l'assaut sur Gold Beach. Retrouvez également l'histoire des autres plages : Sword, Juno, Utah et Omaha. Chacune a connu un débarquement radicalement, et les hommes qui les ont foulées, dans l’un ou l’autre des camps, ont vécu cinq journées bien différentes.

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 hear how, in July 1918, the Australian commander, LT GENERAL MONASH led a successful action at LE HAMEL, which was to act as a template for the BATTLE OF AMIENS a few weeks later.

The Battle of Le Hamel on 4 July 1918 was an Allied triumph, and strategically very important in the closing stages of WWI. A largely Australian force, commanded by Sir John Monash, fought what has been described as the first modern battle - where infantry, tanks, artillery and planes operated together as a coordinated force with every detail planned meticulously. In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast author Peter Fitzsimons joins host Phil Tarrant to discuss this moment in military history, looking not only at the events that took place but the thought processes behind every aspect which lead to the development of these events. Peter will also discuss his writing process and how the fine detail and extensive research is key to telling the stories of these monumental moments in history, share how his literature is a means of helping the characters who lost their lives live and breathe once more, and take on claims that his writing is a glorification of war.

In this episode, we look at the second installment of our conversation from last month with Second World War veteran Bill Betts. We pick up from where we left off in part 1 by discussing Beverly, the second hand M4 Sherman Tank that he and his other crew members inherited and called home for much of their war. We also found out about the improvised measures that Bill and the rest of his colleagues took to add extra protection to their Sherman. We learn about the Essex Yeomanry's time fighting through Holland, crossing the Rhine in their Donald Duck tanks and also their experience of liberating Kiel, as well as much, much more.

In this episode, the first of our veteran archive interviews, we speak with veteran Bill Betts about his experience as a radio operator in an M4 Sherman tank during the Second World War. Bill joined the army aged 19 in 1941 and fought with the Essex Yeomanry Regiment as part of B Troop. The Regiment landed on D-Day in the Jig Green Sector of Gold Beach near Le Hamel and fought its way with the rest of the British 8th Armoured Brigade through France, Belgium, Holland and into Germany before eventually being de-mobbed in 1946. Due to the length of the interview, it will be published on the podcast in two parts. What follows in part one, we discuss Bill joining the army, the training he underwent, joining the EYR, landing on Gold Beach, a few close encounters with a Tiger Tank, R&R in Brussels and much more...
