After posting Will Bird's description of his friend's death by the Spanish Flu, I was going to tell the story of Alan Arnett McLeod. A favourite Great War story of mine, about Canada's youngest Victoria Cross earner, valour, the Great War, and the flu. But its probably a lot easier to link to post I wrote about him on my long dead blog. #GreatWar #SpanishFlu #Valour #WW1 #VictoriaCross It is in two parts
