SUMMARY:Online Lecture: Laying the Tracks to Victory
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Laying the Tracks to Victory: Sergeant Biggs and the Canadian Railway Troops of the First World War\,” an online lecture on November 16th! \n  \nDid you know that Canada during the 1910s had the best and most experienced trainmen in the world? These Canadian railway professionals were recruited to build & maintain thousands of kilometers of tracks on the Western Front – their great contribution is rarely discussed and is certainly a neglected part of history.  \nLearn about the Canadian Railway Troops of WWI that enabled the Allies to win the war with Ryan Goldsworthy of the Royal Canadian Military Institute. This lecture will be illuminated by several original artifacts related to the Canadian Railway Troops of 1914-1919\, including the rare medal set and uniform of Canadian Sergeant William Thomas Biggs. \n  \nGET TICKETS HERE \n  \nABOUT RYAN GOLDSWORTHY \nRyan Goldsworthy is a military historian and material history expert from Toronto. He is currently the Museum Director & Curator at the Royal Canadian Military Institute (RCMI). At RCMI\, he has amassed the most diverse and complete collection of Canadian First World War uniforms.

He has served on several museum committees and boards of directors. \n  \nABOUT THE TORONTO RAILWAY MUSEUM (TRM) \nThe Toronto Railway Museum (TRM) brings people together by telling stories of Toronto’s railway heritage.
