Footsteps of the fallen
Caterpillar Valley
Show Notes

Our journey begins in the small village of Bazentin, at one of the smallest war memorials on the Western Front, that to the Nine Brave Men of the Royal Engineers, before we begin our walk down the valley to the south of us.

This valley,  Caterpillar Valley, was one of the main arteries that supplied the front for the never-ending mincing machine of High Wood, Delville Wood and Guillemont beyond.

Why was this location so important and what was it like for the men who served there?  

We finish our journey in Caterpillar Valley Cemetery, where we look at the New Zealand Unknown Warrior, and his journey back to the Land of the Long White Cloud.
