Book Description
For more than six long years, from late 1931 to 1938, Major Horace Cecil Singer, late of the Royal Canadian Artillery, patiently labored to write this outstanding account of the 31st Battalion's fighting record in World War One. Armed with little more than pencil and pad of paper, and assisted intermittently by two stenographers operating a manually-operated Number 5 Underwood typewriter, Major Singer travelled extensively at his own cost to flesh out the records, and to secure the information he required for the text from numerous sources in western Canada, from the Department of National Defence in Ottawa, and from other sources in London, England. Year by year, the text was slowly compiled, edited, typed -- and then read and reviewed for final edit again by A.A. Peebles, of Lethbridge, Alberta -- before being collated and re-typed as a final manuscript. The original book is reproduced in its entirety, with additions of comment, pictures, and minor alternations.

Author: G.W.L. Nicholson
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773597905
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 709
Book Description
Colonel G.W.L. Nicholson's Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1919 was first published by the Department of National Defence in 1962 as the official history of the Canadian Army’s involvement in the First World War. Immediately after the war ended Colonel A. Fortescue Duguid made a first attempt to write an official history of the war, but the ill-fated project produced only the first of an anticipated eight volumes. Decades later, G.W.L. Nicholson - already the author of an official history of the Second World War - was commissioned to write a new official history of the First. Illustrated with numerous photographs and full-colour maps, Nicholson’s text offers an authoritative account of the war effort, while also discussing politics on the home front, including debates around conscription in 1917. With a new critical introduction by Mark Osborne Humphries that traces the development of Nicholson’s text and analyzes its legacy, Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1919 is an essential resource for both professional historians and military history enthusiasts.

Merry Hell
Author: Robert N. Clements
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442644966
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Merry Hell is the only complete history of the 25th Canadian infantry battalion, which was recruited in the autumn and winter of 191415 and served overseas from spring 1915 until spring 1919. Author Robert N Clements, who served in the battalion throughout that period and rose from private to captain, wrote the story many years after the war, based on his personal memories and experiences. As such, his story reflects two unique perspectives on Canadian military history the remarkably fresh recollections and anecdotes of a veteran, and the outlook of a man eager to share what his generation contributed to the nation's history, character, and identity. Professional military historian Brian Douglas Tennyson buttresses Clements's story with a valuable critical apparatus, including an analytical introduction that contextualizes the history and notes that explain unfamiliar points and people. Merry Hell is a captivating tale for those who enjoy stories of war and battle, and one that will entertain readers with Clements's richly colourful anecdotes and witty poems, none of which have been published before.
