Third of a seven-part series documenting the First World War through the words of those who lived through the conflict.

The Great War was the first of its kind, fully involving both soldiers and civilians. The battle between the Turks and the Anzac forces - Australian and New Zealand troops-at Gallipoli in 1915 confirmed that the European conflict had expanded into the first truly world war. Narrated by Judi Dench.

John Leslie reports on the final day of the RAC Rally. Two hundred crews set out from Chester on Saturday- how many were still in the race when the rally ended this afternoon after 250 miles of driving? The leaders headed off into the forests of Mid and North Wales at 2am this morning, and were faced with 40 miles of stages even before dawn. The stamina of the crews and durability of the machinery were going to be severely tested before they returned to Chester to take the chequered flag. With
Bob Constanduros, Ivan Gaskell and Mark James.
