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 3 Canada's Forgotten Ace

In an obscure cemetery just west of Toronto, one of Canada's fifth highest scoring air Ace rests in obscurity. He was arguably one of the most efficient and effective airmen to ever take to the skies he also happens to be someone almost no Canadian nor student of the Great War has ever heard of. This is the story of Captain Alfred Clayburn Atkey.
