This Omnibus edition of the second five programmes in the series covering the events of 1915 is presented by Dan Snow. Drawing on the sound archives of the Imperial War Museum and the BBC, the series looks at soldiers memories of their first trips home on leave, the rise of U-Boat attacks, and the disastrous Battle of Loos.
