“Never Home – Remembering the Military Heroes Who Never Returned” with Richard Sherman

Author Richard Sherman comes on the podcast to discuss his book and homage “Never Home – Remembering the Military Heroes Who Never Returned.”

 

In 2017, professional photographer and Navy veteran Richard Sherman embarked on a journey to visit and photograph all 23 American overseas World War I and World War II cemeteries. After six years and eight trips to three continents, he published “Never Home: Remembering the Military Heroes Who Never Returned.” The book features dramatic imagery of all 23 cemeteries—from Normandy to Manila—and more that 50 biographies of individuals who, even in death, have never made it home.

Verdun – The Defence of Retranchement R1

This episode was inspired by an afternoon walking tour hosted by the Mémorial de Verdun museum. 

 

For five days in the beginning of June 1916, French Army CPT Charles Delvert and his 8th Company, 101st Infantry Regiment, defended the Retranchement R1 redoubt against ceaseless German attacks. This is their story, in Delvert’s own words.
