Reinforcements
Dan Snow looks at the experiences of two Territorials from the Northumberland Fusiliers who were called in to the Second Battle of Ypres.
By 1915 the intensity of the war was increasing. After the first gas attacks at Ypres, a new unit of Territorials was thrown in to the battle without full training or reconnaissance, within days of their arrival in France, with horrific results. Dan Snow presents the stories of survivors Jack Dorgan and George Harbottle, drawing on the sound archives of the Imperial War Museums and the 大象传媒.
