Ep239: Third Battle of Ypres - All for Nothing Pete & Gary's Military History Β· Episode

So this is the end beautiful friends. The Third Battle of Ypres staggers to a close and the question ever since is: was it all for nothing? And what about the men who suffered so much on all sides. War! What is it good for? Please share - thanks! open.spotify.com/episode/43oE...
