Do you know the age of the youngest soldier to receive the Victoria Cross during the First World War? What role did tanks play in the conflict? And how much were Germany ordered to pay in reparations after the war? In this fascinating audiobook, narrator Lawrence Keefe answers all these questions and more, talking us through over one hundred facts about The Great War. In addition to learning about one of history’s worst ever conflicts, listen to Lawrence’s moving narration of two famous poems of the time: In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae and Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen.
