The Boys Sent To Fight In The Last Year Of WW1 | The Last Voices of World War One | Timeline
This award-winning factual series draws on a unique collection of one hundred interviews with World War One veterans in which the soldiers and their loved ones relive all the heroism and heartbreak of the years from 1914 to 1918. Most of these men had never been interviewed before or since. All the voices are now silent.
In the spring of 1918 the war still hung in the balance but as the Germans launched their massive offensive in the spring, 18-year-old British conscripts were sent to France to make up the numbers. Thousands were taken prisoner, as the German advance continued, and suffered months of hardship at the hands of their captors but by the summer the tide began to turn and the Boys of 1918 helped turn defeat into victory.
