- Great War Tour with Norm Christie Season 1 Episode 3 Sacred Places
Norm Christie takes us to the Western Front battlefields - where ‘the real war is in the cemeteries’ - to discover how these faraway, exquisitely designed and little visited burial grounds, with their thousands of Canadian dead, are truly our ‘sacred places’.
Military historian Norm Christie hosts a new documentary series, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Great War. In this unique series, Norm Christie takes audiences on a pilgrimage to significant Great War sites - some famous, others almost totally unknown. He discovers and tells the stories of Canadian men and women whose skills and courage turned Canada into a force on the world stage.

I lost a great uncle, in the trench raid's leading up to Vimy Ridge. He was 21
. Thank-You Norm
Visiting the WWI battlefields was one of the most moving experiences I’ve done. Thank you for expanding the history, it’ll make the next visit even better.
Outstanding series!
A question…on some of these cemeteries/former battlefields in France and Belgium, I’ve noticed that with a few of them, you’ve driven on unpaved roads to access these various sites; have any of these roads been built over what were once trenches?
And if so, would they have once been battle trenches, or communication trenches, or perhaps both?
Just curious…
Thank you for doing and posting these great videos!
🙏
Inspiring! Thank you sir!
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for explaining how War Graves came to be. Thumbs up. Subscribed!! 🐢🍜
The officer didn't even know Donald's name .... very sad.
heh?
Amazing doc norm,your a Canadian treasure , but Canada lost 67,000-71,000 dead not 60,000 they deserved to be mentioned
The dead don't mind.
