À propos de cet audio
This week, Kate talks about a new display being created for the Haliburton Highlands Museum. It's all about winter sports, particularly curling that started in the early 1940's. Plus, Paul has the story of Frank Pickersgill and Ken Macalister - 2 young regular Canadians who found themselves teamed up and trained as SOE (Britain's Special Operations Executive) agents. The pair were parachuted into France to work with the Resistance, but were betrayed with tragic results.
Unlikely Soldiers: How Two Canadians Fought the Secret War Against Nazi Occupation, by Johnathan Vance (HarperCollins, 2008)
