Gerry Kelly goes on a personal journey to discover the story behind his favourite song. Made famous by the Irish folk group, The Fureys, and recorded by a host of musicians down the years, The Green Fields of France is also known as No Man's Land or Willie McBride. In this documentary first broadcast on the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, Gerry travels to France and comes face to face with the scenes that inspired the song's writer, Eric Bogle, in a moving attempt both to understand more about World War One and to discover who, if anyone, was the real Willie McBride. (A BBC Radio Ulster Production. First published 2016)
