Private George Hannaford

S1, E8: As a runner on the Western Front, George Hannaford saw some of the First World War's bloodiest battles. When the mayhem of Fromelles or Polygon Wood had destroyed all communications, runners were the final, vital link between frontline troops and their commanders. It was an assignment performed with such courage that George was awarded the esteemed Military Medal. Now, 95 years later, the WWI hero's great grand-daughter, Kristy, is following in his footsteps across the battlefields of France and Belgium. It's a personal history which resonates to this day. This mother of three lives in Mooroopna, Victoria, where George turned an unforgiving soldier-settler block into a productive farm. It's still in the family and Kristy wants to understand the amazing story that founded her family on the land.
