Walking The Somme: Pals at Serre - a podcast by Paul Reed

This week we are once again back on the Somme, this time to visit the battlefield at Serre where the men from the Northern Pals battalions had their baptism of fire on 1st July 1916 - the First Day of the Battle of the Somme. We visit the cemeteries and memorials, hear about the veterans who were here and this week's object is a photo of Harry Scargill of the Barnsley Pals.
