Show Notes

In the latest episode in the series celebrating the launch of their new book, Laugh or Cry, Pete and Gary explore how soldiers used humour to cope with the horrendous conditions of life in the trenches during the First World War. Could a joke make the rain, the mud, the cold and the rats a little more bearable?
