Wounded, Maimed and Sick: A forgotten history of the Great War
Wilfrid Laurier PhD graduate, Eric Story, and adjunct professor there, follows the journey of thousands of men and women who paid an entirely different price than did the dead in service to Canada after the Great War: the 180,000 military service members who suffered some form of wounding, injury or illness on the battlefields of the Western Front.
The lecture premieres in-person at the Civic Museum. The recorded conversation will be available on YouTube, and our Museum Everywhere Portal.
The Military Lecture series is a partnership between the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada and Guelph Museums.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the presentation starts at 7 p.m., followed by a question period.
