- Summary:
- The autumn of 1915 this French farmland was the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the great war. The Battle of Loos, a brutal quagmire of chemical weapons and underground mines, explosions that left to see of the dead and dying. The trench detectives have come to the epicenter of that battle, where fighting raged day and night for three weeks. This is one of the worst killing fields of the great war.
