'Footnotes from the Fields' (Orig. Broadcast November 2004)
Students from the Netherlands and the United States visit cemeteries and battlefields of the Western Front in Flanders and northern France. The students are the same age as many of those who fought and died there. They give their reactions to what they see and learn about the First World War. Producer Marijke van der Meer won a Gold Medal at the New York Festivals for this programme.
