In this episode we tell the stories of several World War 1 soldiers who were not heroes. Such as Frederick Cherry who tried to kill his girlfriend and then died himself on the Somme. And the famous "burning car" murderer Alfred Rouse who was wounded in action in 1915.

We also discuss the incredible story of Digger Pugh and the tale of a man who claimed, wrongly, to have been awarded the Victoria Cross.
