About this listen

 In 1914, Canada entered the Great War. It would become the bloodiest conflict in Canadian history, taking the lives of nearly 61,000 Canadians. Small French and Belgian villages would become powerful landmarks in Canadian history: Ypres, Vimy, Passachendale. The courage of Canadian troops ignited a sense of national pride and a confidence that Canada could stand on its own, apart from the British Empire, on the world stage. Part of it all were the Cape Breton Highlanders. In this episode, we will hear from Highlanders and their deep connections to the First World War.
