The Canadian Government and the Commonwealth Wargraves Commission have just announced that the body of an unidentified Newfoundland soldier will be taken home to become their unknown warrior.

In this episode we follow the trail of the caribou and we examine the missing of the Newfoundland Regiment.

Welcome back to the old front line and the start of season seven.

It's incredible to think here we are seven seasons into this podcast and its fifth

year of production, 1.3 million downloads and a huge amount of response from all of you that listen

to this podcast. And I'm finding that I'm meeting more and more of you that listen to this podcast.

And I'm finding that I'm meeting more and more of you outside of the virtual world and in the real world on those battlefields of the old front line itself.

And that's a special pleasure to do that.

I've got a lot of plans for this season with what I hope will prove some interesting content

and as well as continuing with the popular new dispatches episodes

and the very, very popular question and answer bonus episodes.

Keep those questions coming and links to do that are in the

show notes with this episode. There's some fantastic questions really come in. But aside from just

those, we're also going to introduce some new how and why podcasts looking at particular aspects of First World War history,

starting with something on trench warfare next week.

Plus, of course, there is the ever-expanding YouTube channel for the old front line,

where I've put battlefield vlogs on there for you to kind of see a visual

version of the podcast. Fairly short films for you to watch on particular aspects of the battlefields.

I've recorded quite a few bits of material during the course of the last few months which I still

haven't edited.

So there's a lot more in the pipeline, and I'm adding to that on a regular basis.

And the YouTube channel is, of course, free as the podcast is free.
