A Promise Fulfilled – From the Somme to Melbourne and Collingwood Football Club Tales from the Battlefields

In this episode we travel to the Somme and follow in the footsteps of a Collingwood Aussie Rules Footballer, Percy Rowe. Percy went to France alongside his best mate Doc Seddon. He left behind his new wife Louie and newborn son. When Percy died of wounds Doc promised he would look after his widow and son. He fulfilled that promise and we tell this incredible love story whilst walking the ground where Percy fought and died. We also have news from Ypres about the Menin Gate Ceremony.
