Historian Michel Gravel comes on the podcast to discuss his focus on First World War history: the efforts of Canadian soldiers in the battles between Arras and Cambrai, France in 1918.

There may be a few awkward cuts in the flow of the conversation as our internet connection was frequently unstable. Sorry about that.
