Frankie Drake Season 1 Episode 9 Ghosts aired 1/22/2018

      The horrors of war haunt Frankie.  These feelings are brought on when an investigation into a soldier's murder reunites her with a friend left traumatized by his tour of duty.  There are common problems and memories that men and women suffer  after serving in a war.  They have lived through shell shock, explosions, gas and gas line explosions, detonators, gas masks, chemical weapons, memory loss, hospitalization, hiding in basements and other shelters, flashbacks and remembering the deaths of friends and other soldiers.

Special Note:  The first Armistice Day was held in England on 11 Nov 1919. In 1921, the Canadian Parliament adopted the first Monday in the week of November 11 as Armistice Day. In 1931, the government changed the name to Remembrance Day, and the date was set for November 11.  


Mistake:  The first person to get killed, Grant Burton looked at a post card prior to entering his home that had bomb inside. The post card he took out of the mail box was addressed with a zip code. This series is just after World War I.  Zip codes in Canada didn't begin until 1971.
