Prepare to Weep: Alberta’s Most Powerful, Most Moving War Letter - read on Remembrance Day

Alberta’s 28 May 1919 road through war’s poisoned land.

I read this letter in full: Alberta travels four days along the old front, Rheims to Ypres — vineyards turned to graves, towns erased, ground “choked with” the dead: French, Belgians, British, Americans, and Germans. Clear-eyed, elegant, devastating. Paid subscribers get the complete recording and transcript.
