On this episode of the Marathon of History Podcast, we chat about Vimy Ridge with Canadian historian and Legion National Foundation historian and tour guide John Goheen.

Vimy has a special place in the hearts of many Canadians; however, over the years, many myths have emerged. Today, we look at some of those myths and explore the even greater story of the development and coming together of the Canadian Corps in the spring of 1917.
