Somme - At the Hawthorn Ridge Crater

An MP3 published on Player FM (USA) to help commemorate the 1st of July anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of the Somme. The podcast was created and published to disseminate during the Covid-19 pandemic when many visitors could not attend ceremonies in France. The content was produced and packaged using Production House methods by Associate Professor Fiona Graham for the BFWWP in the United States. "Conducted last year, Associate Professor Graham and Mr. Colin Winn take a tour of the massive crater at Beaumont-Hamel on the Somme battlefield to discuss the latest developments of the archaeological dig there. Due to the ongoing pandemic and its related closures, commemoration events for the 1st of July on the Somme in France are likely to be severely reduced or cancelled. The 1st of July of course, is the first day of the Battle of the Somme and the day the Hawthorn Ridge mine was blown for the first time. To help broadcast this year’s commemoration efforts and continue to live up to the well-known phrase “Lest We Forget” (Player FM)
