In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with Dan Black about his new book Harry Livingstone’s Forgotten Men: Canadians and the Chinese Labour Corps in the First World War. They talk about how he came to the story, why it hasn’t received a lot of attention, and the challenges of finding sources. They also chat about the men’s experiences in Canada, the government’s reasons for keeping it secret, and the acknowledging the diversity of Canada’s war experience.
