Ep210: Gallipoli - Conditions in the Trenches (Part 5)

Living History with Mat McLachlan

Stalemate has descended on Gallipoli and both sides now have to confront a new enemy - the appalling living conditions in the trenches. If the constant risk of death was not enough to do a man in, he also had to contend with heat, flies, corpses, disease and a nauseating diet. Could things get any worse?

In the fifth episode of our special series on the Gallipoli campaign, Mat is joined by historian Peter Hart to explore the horrendous conditions endured by the soldiers during the campaign.

Hosts: Mat McLachlan and Peter Hart
