First World War Cemeteries

Mortals by Christeah, Mariah, Jeannine

Episode notes

Burying millions of war dead was a logistical nightmare that followed the chaos and calamity of the First World War. Your hosts discuss action on the Western and Eastern Fronts (map links included below), the many governmental bodies created to care for the dead, and ponder how long humanity may continue to find bodies from the War to End All Wars.
