In this episode of Finding Heroes, the team takes you into a medieval cave in France known as Maison Blanche, that housed Canadian soldiers during World War One. These men who would eventually fight, and some die, at Vimy Ridge, between April 9th and 12th, 1917, left their marks by creating intricate carvings and etchings on the walls of Maison Blanche. Listen to how Wayne and Dave solve 100-year-old mysteries by connecting the names of the soldiers to present day families using Ancestry’s History Records with emotional and poignant results. For the first time you will hear these families talk about their loved ones and the lasting impact on their lives.
