Listen "School Stories plus Canada's Victoria Cross"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Kate has a 'lighter topic'. It's the back to school time of year, so here's a couple of school stories from yesteryear. Plus, Many Canadian servicemen have earned Britain's Victoria Cross Medal since its creation during the 1850's Crimean War. But, it's no longer awarded to Canadians. It has to do with Canada's evolution from a colony to an independent country. So, who was our first, and last, Victoria Cross winner?
