THE GREAT WAR covers the events exactly 100 years ago. From 2014-2018 the YouTube channel covered the events of World War 1 week by week. At the moment, we are covering the events in the aftermath of WW1 – which wasn't the war to end all wars as people had hoped.
This subreddit is for discussion of the Youtube series The Great War. This goes for:
- the weekly episodes released every Thursday
- Special episodes
- the Biography format WHO DID WHAT IN WW1
- the community format OUT OF THE TRENCHES
If you're new to the series, begin watching the playlist here.

I finished it
Around New Years I finished the Great War series. What a great series it is. I started around September so it took me about 3 months to finish it. I’m glad I watched it because I didn’t know that much about WWI other than what was taught in school. I was more familiar with WW2. I learned way more about WW1 than I ever did in history class. This series gets down to the nitty gritty of what happened, the battles, the countries involved, the generals. It’s so informative. In a way it’s kind of sad that the series is over but now I can watch World War Two.

Do the other platforms have Playlists for videos chronologically by year?
I'm considering either subscribing to the Patreon or Nebula or perhaps YT Premium, and I don't see playlists on either of them like there is on the Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGreatWar/playlists
Are these playlists hidden somewhere on those platforms? Or is this a Youtube-specific feature?
I like having a playlist with all the videos chronologically ordered without videos from other playlists getting between them

WIA 26 YD
An ancestor of mine served in the 103rd IN Reg. 26th ID “Yankee Division”. He was wounded at some point in October of 1918. His roster at the end of the month states “SLD in hospital”. Any clue as to what “SLD” means? I haven’t had any luck looking it up…
