Welcome to the Old Front Line with me, military historian Paul Reed.

This is a regular podcast where we'll look at the history of the First World War and travel together across the battlefields, from Iap to the Somme and beyond.

So what's in this week's episode?

Welcome back and thanks for joining me in the trenches of the old front line once more.

Before we move on to another theatre of war this week, Gallipoli, more of that soon,

a few things to tell you about.

It's really great to get your feedback on Twitter, but I've also put an old front line Facebook page up now where you can comment on there and leave some feedback and reviews of the podcast.

There'll be previews of some of the podcasts on there, and I'll post some of the usual photographs that those of you are on Facebook

rather than Twitter can have a look at them.

But to make everything a bit easier for you,

I've decided to set up a little website for the podcast,

www.w.org.com.com.

And there'll be a separate page on there for every podcast episode.

There'll be an embedded version of it via Spotify and I'll put up all of the photographs that

I mention and pictures of the artifacts that we talk about in each podcast. So now there's quite a few

ways to keep your eye on what we do with this podcast via Facebook and Twitter and now the website oldfrontline.com.uk.

I also appreciate all of your likes on Apple Podcasts and your reviews.

That's really great. If you continue to do that, I'd really appreciate that.

But let's get started.

Let's get down to some history and battlefields as we wander along the old front line.

This week on the old front line, we're away from the Western Front Front, we're at Gallipoli in the Dardanelles in Turkey.

Today is Anzac Day, the 25th of April, when Australia and New Zealand rightly commemorate the sacrifice of their troops in the Gallipoli landings of
