Listen "S5 E2 Gerald Hallowell"
Episode Synopsis
Season 5, Episode 2.
How Loyal Are You?
World War 1 put many Lunenburgers in a bind. If you were a fisherman or farmer, you needed to produce food for home and abroad. But since you were able-bodied, why weren't you enlisting to fight? And even if your ancestors arrived more than 150 years ago, could your Germanic name suggest you were an enemy sympathizer?
Gerald Hallowell's book As British As The King, gives us a fascinating look at the way national and international issues played out in every household in a single Canadian county.
