Rebuilding The Giant WW1 Flamethrower That Terrified The Enemy | Breathing Fire

In part two of this Time Team special, Tony Robinson has been joined by the British Royal Engineers as they tried to rebuild and test the world's largest ever flamethrower. The Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector was a 60 foot behemoth that could engulf targets 300 feet away in flames. The terrifying weapon was deployed at the Battle of the Somme, one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War.
