In October 1917, British, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and German forces fought in one of the First World War's most bloody battles, the Battle of Passchendaele. Join me, historian Mat McLachlan, on a walk across the old battlefield. What remains from the fighting, and can we bring the stories of the men who fought and died here to life?
