Not all casualties and deaths attributed the Great War were incurred at the end of a bayonet, or from shell fire and rifle fire. Tragically, while the roar of the guns drew silent on Nov 11th the war continued to rage on unabated in the minds of many of the participants. This is the story of one of these damned and damaged heroes. This is the story of Lieutenant Charles Coombes.

When the men returned home from the war and the years passed by, when they did get together and reunite each meeting was marked by fraternity, a few handshakes, a couple beers and singing of the auld war songs. Many of these were created by the subject of this biography...Corporal Jack Ayre of the Dumbells.

This is his story...and how he put smiles on the faces of so many men over so many years!

In an obscure cemetery just west of Toronto, one of Canada's fifth highest scoring air Ace rests in obscurity. He was arguably one of the most efficient and effective airmen to ever take to the skies he also happens to be someone almost no Canadian nor student of the Great War has ever heard of. This is the story of Captain Alfred Clayburn Atkey.

In this story I take you into the room where the Officer in Command of a battalion has to write home to the families of 37 men who died in the "successful operation". The operation was a full battalion level trench raid on July 23, 1917. The soldier whose family was being written to was Corporal Orren John Congdon. This is his story.

As the seconds ticked down to 11am on the 11th month of the year 1918...not all soldiers were happy that hostilities were about to end. This is the story of one of those lads...it is based on the perspective of a read Canadian soldier as he stood outside Mons when the war ended.
