I'm listening to the new series of "Tommies", a drama series on BBC Radio 4 based on war diaries. Each episode is set on the same date exactly 100 years ago. The current series began 1st August. Previous series ended in April with retreat. A repeat of a 1915 series finished last Saturday. Some episodes are on BBC iPlayer.
