While the subjects of some of the songs are quite easy to guess, the exact topic of &#8220;A Ghost in the Trenches&#8221; was a mystery for many \u2013 although some did  predict it correctly. The song is about the Canadian (and indigenous First Nations) soldier Francis Pegahmagabow, the deadliest sniper of the First World War. Indy &#8211; having researched and hosted the The Great War YouTube 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.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy and Cheers! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot_2019-06-07-\u201cA-Ghost-in-the-Trenches\u201d-\u2013-Francis-Pegahmagabow-\u2013-Sabaton-History-018-Official.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot_2019-06-07-\u201cA-Ghost-in-the-Trenches\u201d-\u2013-Francis-Pegahmagabow-\u2013-Sabaton-History-018-Official-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-48759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot_2019-06-07-\u201cA-Ghost-in-the-Trenches\u201d-\u2013-Francis-Pegahmagabow-\u2013-Sabaton-History-018-Official-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot_2019-06-07-\u201cA-Ghost-in-the-Trenches\u201d-\u2013-Francis-Pegahmagabow-\u2013-Sabaton-History-018-Official-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot_2019-06-07-\u201cA-Ghost-in-the-Trenches\u201d-\u2013-Francis-Pegahmagabow-\u2013-Sabaton-History-018-Official-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot_2019-06-07-\u201cA-Ghost-in-the-Trenches\u201d-\u2013-Francis-Pegahmagabow-\u2013-Sabaton-History-018-Official-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screenshot_2019-06-07-\u201cA-Ghost-in-the-Trenches\u201d-\u2013-Francis-Pegahmagabow-\u2013-Sabaton-History-018-Official.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabaton History Published on 6 Jun 2019 As a ghost he roamed the trenches, effectively taking out his enemies one by one.
