S1E4: St Eloi Craters and Mount Sorrel

Throughout 1915 and early 1916 the Germans maintained their strongholds on the western front making it extraordinarily difficult for the Allies to launch an offensive attack. To cope with the mundaneness of war, there was little for the soldiers to do but man the lines, smoke a cigarette, and perhaps put on a good drag show!

Despite efforts to ease their stress, many could not escape the impacts of shell shock, especially as offensive campaigns resumed at St. Eloi and Mount Sorrel. Do we finally see the tides turn for the Canadians, or is it another case of “the blind leading the blind”?
