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 11 The First to Fall

Every war has a first...the first battle, the first victory, the first loss...the first to die will always be bookended by the last. For this battalion, the first Officer to falls is not listed anywhere on the Library and Archives Canada website. He is not listed on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial...however his death was not forgotten by his brethren and Torontonians back in 1916...and with this story we will ensure he no longer remains forgotten. Remember him. Lt John Egerton Vaughan
