In this episode night we follow a road that runs from the Sahara to the Somme, tracing the story of the French Army of Africa as it marched from the outposts of the empire and into the furnace of trench warfare. With the aid of French Army expert James Taub, we’ll examine the nature of this unique force, where it came from, how it was organised, and how it fought on the Western Front and beyond.
