episode 53: Ross Rifles 01: Character Creation
Over one hundred years ago in October, the Canadian Expeditionary Forces landed in Europe. By 1917 they had command over their own troops and no longer viewed as a colony coming to aid their home country but as it’s own nation.
Who were these soldier? In the next hour we’ll create the character we’ll play in this campaign and get to meet the trench busters of Passchendaele in 1917. And along the way we each share a lot of history between each other and learn more about our own origins.
