As a ghost he roamed the trenches, effectively taking out his enemies one by one. He was the deadliest sniper of The Great War, with over 300 confirmed kills on his name. He is Canadian soldier Francis Pegahmagabow, born in an indigenous First Nations family, and the The Sabaton Song ‘A Ghost in the Trenches’ is about his life and adventures.

Many of you have been analysing the tracklist for the upcoming Sabaton Album ‘the Great War’. While the subjects of some of the songs are quite easy to guess, the exact topic of ‘A Ghost in the Trenches’ is was a mystery for many - although some did predict it correctly. The song is about the Canadian (and indiginous First Nations) soldier Francis Pegahmagabow, the deadliest sniper of the First World War. Indy - having researched and hosted the ‘The Great War’ RU-vid channel for the duration of the war, knows as much as there is to know about the subject, and is the most suitable person to tell you the story behind the song. Enjoy and Cheers!

I remember asking my history teachers why we weren't going to depth on Canada's involvement in both World Wars. One of my teachers took me aside after class and told me...and I quote "The ministry and the school district feel that talking about the world wars in any detail glorifies war and violence. They have been instructed us to only briefly bring them up, and to not going into great detail". I was shocked! I actually wrote into the school district complaining that these topics should be covered! I received a reply, when the school counselor called me into the office to see why I was so interested in war and violence and if I was feeling okay.......Again I was shocked.

I was thinking about Primo Victoria with the 75th anniversary of D-Day but as a sniper in video games, this is interesting to hear how this tactic came and how it worked from years before and how it worked in the later years. I only hope that a song about the other sniper of your repertoire will also get a video very soon. But this is good stuff. And I'm more willing to listen about this tale. And learning about this individual is making this something else. What I hear from the song, sounds awesome.

Just imagine the conversation back at his home trench... "Where the HELL have you been, Private!?" "Trenches, sir." "Don't get smart with me, or I'll have you digging graves!" "Their trenches, sir." And then he just dumps a pile of clothing scraps from the enemy.

I've been at home whole day sick, trying to survive, and then, the e-mail notification arrived...I'm really grateful for this episode, made my day better. Especially Frosty, the snowman. 😁 Thank you for the story, a piece of history again I wouldn't know about without you guys. I find really impressive that Francis fought for indiginous rights after the war. And the song...well, we can hear only a few seconds in the video, but I love it already. ❤

@chadsmith8966 4 года назад

For those wondering why anyone would nonchalantly sneak into an enemy trench and just chill or take their stuff... it's an indian thing. However, this sort of behavior is referred to as Counting Coup (a show of bravery and skill). To count as a Coup, a warrior, at the very least, needed to defeat an enemy in battle with the epitome being simply touching a foe and to escape unscathed. What also counted as a Coup was stealing an foe's belongings (horses, weapons, ammo) and fade without them noticing. This also was a very subtle way for an indian to say, I can waltz into your camp. Go where I want. Do what I want. Take what I want. Walk right back out and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. A very scary concept to contend with when dealing with an opponent who is the North American equivalent of a ninja. Francis, being born and raised into a native society and culture (especially at the tail end of the Indian Wars) instilled a special kind of mentality. This coupled with a certain set of skills honed over a lifetime of hard living and the sheer will to survive would serve a sniper and scout very, very well.

It makes me so happy to see a song about a Canadian soldier because I am Canadian and we did some amazing stuff in both wars! Also, I am glad to see you shedding light on our Native heroes in WWI. Far too few (including myself) know about their courageous actions. I once read--now I may have this wrong and will welcome a correction--that Francis Pegahmagabow was the fastest courier the Canadian regiment had, if not the fastest of all the regiments in the war. I love this channel! I am learning so much!

@timothyissler3815 5 лет назад

A Sabaton song exclusively about Canada and Canadians.... I AM SO HAPPY!!! Canada is an underrated military nation! Side Note: Indigenous people are also incredibly underrated. They are intense and fearsome warriors. In the War of 1812 Americans surrendered entire forts on the mere rumour that the Canadians' Indigenous allies were out and about. I'm not Indigenous, but they were probably some of the most terrifying individuals to fight back in the day, and they deserve better.

I presume you'll be playing this one on the Canadian leg of the tour! I learned about Francis Pegahmagabow not in class, but because I turned into a voracious military history reader when I was a kid growing up in small-town Alberta, first learning about WWII from my grandparents who grew up in Germany during the war, and my great uncle who was on the Eastern Front. Then I cracked open some books from the library, read them all, and started tracking down every military history resource I could get my hands on. Then the internet became a thing, and I got to learn even more.

As a Canadian thanks and let me explain a bit about the citienship. There were treaties not conquest. Now if one side is a fully soverign nation then they wouldn't be citizens of the second. In practical terms the two are so interwoven that the are one quilted nation. As to how merged or independent is still a varied opinion to this day. I volunteer at a First Nations center in Toronto with many as friends. I've shared this on facebook for them.

also important to note that treaties don't negate genocide... many treaties were signed through manipulation and coercion the majority have been broken too...
