#37 History Hack: Missing: The Need for Closure After the First World War

Author Richard Van Emden and Director of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Victoria Wallace, join us to discuss how Britain approached, and still deals with her dead in the wake of the Great War. We learn about the burial of those lost, the commemoration of those who remained missing, why Richard has been adopting old people, and why he spent his university years in care homes. Support us: https://www.patreon.com/historyhackTips: https://ko-fi.com/historyhackBuy the books: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/historyhackMerch: https://www.historyhackpod.com/ Hosted on Acast.
