As my Grandfather was a WW1 vet, visiting Belgium and a number of WW1 battlefields in 2002 prompted my interest in the Great War. Thrilled that Paul and Lucy have collaborated and created this new channel! Really enjoying this!! Great job, guys!!
as a Belgian, and regular visitor to the Ieper salient region, congrats on starting this channel and really thrilled by the start at Bayernwald, look forward to the next ones!!!
Lucy & Paul, Thanks indeed for this 'trench tour'-very interesting to see this surprisingly well-constructed German example. As always fine background information and a special word of thanks to the unsung hero, camerawoman Olivia. On a slightly different topic can I suggest maybe some talks on the air war-fighters, types of plane, Zeppelin raids etc.
Lovely for you to show us the trenches and bring it to life. Lucy and Paul you make a good “punning” team, so pun away. Lucy I love the fact you specialise on the animal side, I am so eager to learn more of that. The animals deserve credit for the role they served 💜
Just catching up and thank you for the Live presentations. I'm just starting on my WWI journey and visiting Belgium and France this Fall. I wrote down all the book recommendations and have bought 4 so far. Got a used hard copy of "Doughboys". It's got a beatup cover, however the inside pages are beautifully preserved. A once loved book gets a new home. Thanks Lucy, Olivia, and Woody.
Terrific live stream. As a Korean war enthusiast people might be surprised to know how similar the trench warfare concept, on both sides from 1951-53 along the MLR, was.
I thought,or I ready somewhere that instead of the militaries bringing the equines back home,they put them under,is this a true fact,on your end as far as research goes.
That old chestnut. The narratives around post war equines are often way over simplified. Happy to do a talk on this on the channel one day but briefly : As far as British were concerned, it wasn’t possible to repatriate equines for 3 main reasons: 1) logistics - bringing men home was priority! 2) economics - remember 1000s had been bought and shipped to Europe from other parts of the world and didn’t come from UK originally so bringing them there would flood market and the horse market was big business back then 3) spread of illness and disease. So what to do with them? Well they were categorised depending on age & health and either sold (to various parties), retained for local forces, or the old and infirm put to sleep. Some were brought back to UK but in scheme of things very few. Hope that helps! - LBD
I love horses,my step daughter rides English,and she did this in college as well as dated someone on the U.S. Olympic equestrian team.She now has her own family and lives in the mountains raising horses.I turned her onto horses at a young age nine.

Thank you Woody, Lucy and Olivia for another great show! It was very interesting to see up close the trenches at Bayernwald.
Another wonderful on site video. Am so eager to see the full episodes.. My eyes will go square with WW2TV and this new chanel! Well done Lucy.
This series has got of to a really good start. Long may it continue
Thanks Phil

More great content from Lucy and Woody, not forgetting the great camera work by Olivia 👍

First trenches i ever saw. Thanks for bringing that into better perspective
Fabulous tour, Lucy. I appreciate how you use these initial shows to grow a sense of community and reveal how your vision is evolving.
To think of men spending months on end living in such conditions is stupendous. Thanks for the virtual tour of these positions WW1 TV.
Another excellent video, thank you!
Nice to see Olivia.
Thx 🙏 Lucy 🔥
Thanks Lucy! I, for one, am looking forward to the roles of horses in WW1. Thanks!
My Grandad and his brother were in the cavalry straight from India so horses are of great interest to me Lucy!
2 great intro's in 1 day. 👍👍👍👍
Great livestream - brings back memories of school trip to the battlefields over 20 years ago!
Great to see those trenches! Thank you Lucy!

You guys should do one for the Sailors.
How and how quickly would the trenches change when sections of the line were passed between Commonwealth and French forces?
Another great livestream!
Again a great show! Would like to have a show on horses in the 1WW. Is there one on horses in the 2WW?
Really interesting thanks
Great show. What does Lucy think about the film "War Horse?"
great start, I can see a lot of myths and preconceptions being exploded by this channel
That's the plan. PW
If you compare these ww1 trenches to the ones being used in Ukraine today the ones today are much smaller width wise
Am I right that the trees and vegetation are all post WW1? The memoirs I read talk about few if any trees….they were blown/burned mostly ???
Pretty much, yes. PW

It would be cool if we could pay to camp in the trenches (or at least recreated trenches) just for the experience
It doesn’t look like the trenches are on the military crest? I can’t imagine if true this is “front line.”
Sorry, I can’t quite follow what you’re saying/asking here? - LBD
