Pete is out and about guiding a group on the battlefields! In this special episode live from the Somme he takes a breather from his hectic schedule to catch up with Mat about his experiences over the last few days. What's it like to lead a group of young people, who have no direct connection to the history of warfare, on a tour of the battlefields? Where do they go, what questions do they ask, and can they really understand the events of a century ago?

Mat and Pete are walking one of their favourite battlefields, the Suvla sector at Gallipoli. The landings at Suvla Bay were a key part of the huge August Offensive, launched by the Allies in a last desperate bid to win the Gallipoli campaign. But what should have been a brilliant flanking manoeuvre became a siege, as the British dithered on the beach and the Turks flooded reinforcements in to surround the new beachhead. The Suvla landings were one of the great missed opportunities of the Gallipoli campaign, and a walk around this sector reveals tragedy, heroism and sacrifice.

Mat and Pete are returning to the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War, to walk another battlefield from the legendary Guadalcanal Campaign. Following on from their episode about the Thin Red Line, this time they are walking the slopes of Mount Austen, a landmark that could be seen from all parts of the battlefield and the scene of some of the bloodiest fighting in the final stages of the campaign. This is a tale of audacious patrols behind enemy lines, Medal of Honor actions, desperate fights to the last man and the unwavering support of the local people to help win one of the most important campaigns of the Second World War.
