Welcome everyone. Many of you may know me better as Chris from Vlogging Through History. Since I started creating content for youtube I have found myself diving deeper and deeper into the history of the Great War, what we call World War 1 today. Not just the strategies and tactics of armies, but the stories of the men and women whose lives were upended by one of the most destructive and terrifying conflicts in history. That’s why this channel was born. A place to dive deeper into the stories of the men, the women, the units they were a part of, the acts of bravery, the moments of fear. The lives that were changed forever. To explore the places where they fought, and where they rest today. To explore the places where we remember. I hope you’ll join me on the journey. These are stories of the great war.

Stories of the Great War
Hello all! To celebrate our impending milestone of 10,000 subscribers on this channel, I'll be uploading all the podcast episodes i recorded last year for my now-defunct "Vlogging Through History" podcast. These podcasts cover topics I've made videos about on this channel, but they go much more in depth on the topics. If they are well received, I may start doing additional episodes specific to Stories of the Great War.

Stories of the Great War
I was in Europe for the last week and a half and so didn't get to do anything special for ANZAC Day. Here's a video I did at Polygon Wood where many of the ANZAC soldiers fell during the Battle of Passchendaele.

Stories of the Great War
110 years ago today, John McCrae wrote perhaps the most famous of all wartime poems as he mourned the loss of his friend Lt. Alexis Helmer. Hear the whole story in my video from Essex Farm in Belgium.

Thank you everyone for helping us push past 5000 subscribers on the channel! I'm headed to Europe next week to make new original content in Ypres, Vimy Ridge, and the Somme. Are there any particular stories or locations from those places you'd like to see here on the channel?

Stories of the Great War
Hello everyone and welcome! I'm excited about this new adventure. In the coming days I'll be uploading the series I recorded on my first trip to the Western front, my first visit to the Somme. Many of you have seen it before on VTH. I will eventually have all my original Great War content migrated over to this channel, but you can also expect new, original content soon as well. So be patient while I work on that!
