In this latest Old Front Line Podcast Questions & Answers Episode we answer four questions from listeners asking what is the most memorable story of the Great War I've visited, what battlefield draws me back time and again, what did British troops think about Australians and Canadians, and what was the weaponry of ordinary soldiers and how did that change during the war?
This is how the German Army rated British and Commonwealth Divisions in the Great War, taken from a 1916 report by the Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL):
Good - 47th, 6th, 20th, 50th, 18th, 1st Canadian, 2nd Canadian
Medium - 11th, 39th, 41st, 3rd Canadian, NZ
Poor - 61st, 40th, 60th, 63rd, 3rd Australian, 5th Australian, 4th Canadian

Reconstruction and recovery of ground brought that Red Zone to an end in the 1920s but stories of it circulated once more during the Great War Centenary. So what are the Myths of the Red Zone, and what are its truths?
