Norm Christie takes us into the heroic Belgian city of Ypres, filled with refugees in 1915, and out onto the killing fields where, in 1915, with saturation bombardment of Ypres and with the first mass poisoned gas attack in history, German forces initiated the century of “total war” – the 20th Century. Norm leads us in exploring the traces of that battle – bullets, graves, cemeteries, and monuments.
