This is a podcast about people...soldiers who served and sacrificed in the time of the Great War. It is a podcast where I bring the names carved in granite back to life...telling the stories of ordinary men (and a few women) who fought in WW1. Each episode is based on a unique biography written with care and compassion, aimed at helping us understand these ordinary soldiers. Each biography has been written and posted to Substack and Facebook...but I know that we are all busy. This podcast is for people 'on the go' and give them a chance to experience these interesting stories.

Heroes of the Great War - Episode 14 The Undisturbed Room
<p>My sincere apologies for the mothers out there from Canada and the US as this episodes is being posted one week late. I wrote this for Mother's Day and well...that was a week ago! For those listeners in the UK...this is really bloody late! However, it is a story that resonates for mothers across the combatant nations and touches on their perspective on a day that can be so happy...or so sad at the same time. Happy Mothers's Day...belatedl.</p>

Heroes of the Great War - Episode 13 A Mayor to be Proud of
<p>There is an auld adage...some soldiers never die, they just fade away. Very true...I have seen lots of fading soldiers in my research of the men of the 116th Battalion. This story is not of one of them. This is the story of a man who rose up from a 17 year old Private to be come Mayor of Canada's Largest city (ok..2nd at the time but who's counting?) This is the story of Lieutenant/Mayor Ralph Carrette Day. </p>
