This week, Kate has been getting visitors at the Museum with lots of questions. A frequent question asked is...who was Sir Sam? As in the namesake for Sir Sam's Inn and Ski Hill. Kate decided to share the answer with our listeners. Plus Paul talks about 3 Canadians who were each individually awarded Victoria Cross Medals for valour in seperate actions during WW1. Improbably, they also just happened to have lived near each other on a short stretch of street in Winnipeg - the only known instance of this having occured anywhere else in the British Empire.
