I Was There! Newest episode published

The latest video from the 'I Was There!' series has just been published. In this series of videos we are 'voicing' the original magazine articles from the 1939 publication 'I Was There!' in which personal accounts of those 'who were there' were published over hundreds of instalments. 

In Episode 67 we hear from one of the most famous names to emerge from the war - being Lt Col John McCrae whose poem 'In Flanders Fields' is so well known.

In this episode we hear in McCrae's own words about the Second Battle of Ypres
