Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis uses a web site as its primary format. Readers are invited to visit www.birthofaregiment.com. Financed by a wealthy Montreal businessman, the original regiment was very British in its make-up. The Patricia's were recruited and trained separate from the Canadian Expeditionary Force. For the first year of the war, they fought in a British brigade, under British officers using British weapons. By 1919, the PPCLI were distinctly Canadian. The Patricia's became the best known Canadian regiment and one of three retained in the permanent force. This thesis examines that remarkable transition, the changes wrought by the war and the mechanisms used to reinforce the unique image of the Patricia's. It also tests several myths embodied in the histories of the Regiment against a database of over five thousand files of soldiers who served with the Patricia's during the First World War.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, 1914-1919, Vol. 1 of 2: Narrative The record of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry is a record of great and heroic deeds. The first Canadian unit to take the field in the Great War, the Regiment holds a place second to none in the annals of the armies which came from every part of our Empire to fight for the common cause. In this history of the Regiment we are privileged to follow the fortunes of the brave men who enlisted in its ranks. The story has brought out the magnificent spirit of devoted service and self sacrifice which has justly won for it so great a name. One of the traditions of the Regiment, a tradition in keeping with the noblest ideals in our history, and a tradi tion, moreover, which was preserved by all ranks throughout the War, was the effacement of the individual in securing the advancement of the unit. All those who read the following pages will feel that they owe a debt of gratitude to Lieutenant Hodder Williams for the masterly manner in which he has told the tale of those who, by their service, brought honour to themselves and lasting glory to the memory of the Regiment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, 1914-1917 After some experience it becomes hard to imagine a man's sensations on moving up to his first period in the trenches. The routine, the waiting, the heated discus sions with vague guides, the stepping short in front - there grows such a sense of permanency with repeated visits that it is almost impossible to remember first impressions. It has always been the same, one imagines - always one tramped up to the trenches, more or less burdened with pick and shove], rifle and pack, extra ammunition, a couple of pieces of corru gated iron, or a duckbo'ard, as an after thought - and the same old fireworks banged and spluttered, flared and dwindled, while the soldier sweated along the same old road between the poplars. There appears to have been nothing before one began to do these things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: This is the story of a remarkable regiment that was born within a week of the outbreak of war and today is one of Canada s three remaining regular army infantry regiments. A business man and South African War veteran, Mr A. Hamilton Gault, offered to raise a unit at his own expense for active service in Europe. The offer was taken up and for $100,000 an infantry battalion was raised and named after the daughter of the Governor General, H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught. The first CO was Lt Col F. Farquhar, Coldstream Guards, the Military Secretary of the Governor General. The call for volunteers, preferably ex-regulars or S African War veterans, went out on 11th August and the response was such that by 19th the battalion had mobilized, 1098 strong out of some 3,000 who had come forward from all over Canada. Some statistics of the so-called originals are of interest: ninety percent were British born; 1049 had served with the colours and between them possessed 771 decorations/medals; 456 had seen war service. The battalion went to France in December 1914 as part of 80th Infantry Brigade, 27th Division - a newly formed regular division. It fought on the Western front throughout the war, transferring to 3rd Canadian Division in December 1915 when that division formed in France. All this and the battalion s doings in France and Belgium make up volume 1. Volume 2 is all about the personnel of the battalion, beginning with the Roll of Honour. Three COs were killed and two RSMs and the dead are listed alphabetically, officers and other ranks. separately. There is a summary of the War Diary, 1914-1919, followed by various letters and documents and then strength and casualty statistics. During the war 5,086 served in the battalion of whom 4,076 became casualties. A summary shows a total of 369 awards, three of them VCs for whom citations are given in full. The icing on the cake is the nominal roll and record of service of everyone who served in the PPCLI. These records are tabulated and read across the page, giving the following information: number and name, original unit, date of joining PPCLI (identifying the originals ), rank on joining with any higher rank held when struck off strength, casualties with dates; date when finally struck off strength, transfers and unit of subsequent service, decorations and awards. At the end of this volume is the index to volume 1. A marvellous history!
