Faithful unto death - the story of the Chinese Labour Corps
Footsteps of the fallen · 2025-06-01
Welcome to the final episode of Season 7!
In today's episode, we look at the little-studied role played by the Chinese Labour Corps during the Great War.
Over 90,000 Chinese labourers served in France and Belgium, engaged in manual labour and the dangerous work of clearing munitions and bodies from the battlefields.
Who were these men, and how did they end up so far from home?
The podcast will be back for Season 8 on Sunday July 6th 2025.
