In this episode, Dan and Spencer explore perhaps the best known battle to take place on the Western Front in the First World War. Fought in famously atrocious conditions outside the Belgian Town of Ypres, the battle was a highly complex affair. Join is as we discuss some of the key elements and how they shaped the campaign as a whole.
