Host Norm Christie is our guide as we explore the battlefields, cemeteries, and monuments of the First Wold War. In their own words, the men who fought tell their stories, and we discover how the naive, amateur soldiers of 1914 became, by 1918, perhaps the most feared, efficient, and deadly Allied Corps on the Western Front.
