006 - Welcome to the Deliverer

from Canadas Last Hundred Days Valenciennes to Mons · host John Frederick Bligh Livesay

Join us for Part Four of the gripping saga of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the final 100 days of the First World War. After nearly four years of grueling trench warfare, the Allied Forces launched a bold plan to breach the German Hindenburg Line and drive the enemy from their strongholds. In this episode, we follow the CEFs relentless pursuit through Valenciennes to Mons in Belgium, a poignant location where the war first ignited on August 4, 1914, culminating in victory on November 11, 1918. (Summary by Richard Laughton.) Special thanks to our Proof-Listeners David Lawrence, Betty M., and Sarah Jennings.
