Description

Welcome to the final episode of Season 6 and our 150th podcast! In this episode, we look back at the podcast since it began 3 1/2 years ago, examine some of the statistics about the pod, and contemplate some of my favourite episodes that have been released. We then head over to Belgium and travel from Essex Farm to Elverdinghe, where we visit some of the smaller and less visited cemeteries in this part of the Ypres salient, including Talana Farm, Bleuet Farm and Ferme Olivier cemeteries. The podcast will be back with Season 7 on Sunday 28th April 2024. Support us: https://www.patreon.com/footstepsofthefallen https://www.buymeacoffee.com/footstepsblog
