This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely seen as a purely British affair, the fact that the South African War ( or Boer War) involved troops from the Dominions of the British Empire is too often forgotten. This book helps right this historical memory lapse, telling as it does the full story of Canada s military role in the conflict. IN fact Canada s contribution was a major one, as this book amply attests. Some 8,300 Canadian soldiers served in South Africa; 242 of them were killed in action and many awards were won - including four Victoria Crosses. The first Canadian contingent consisted of eight companies; the second of two battalions and five batteries of artillery; along with Strathcona s Horse. This book is based both on the official despatches of Lieut.-Col. W.D. Otter and other senior officers; along with cables sent by Canadian war correspondents accompanying their forces. There are appendices listing the names of the officers and men who fought; along with a Roll of Honour. This book restores a neglected page to the record of Canada s proud military history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's Sons on Kopje and Veldt: A Historical Account of the Canadian Contingents In the preparation of this story of the three Canadian Contingents that have been so heroically fighting the Empire's battles in South Africa, the utmost care has been taken to get only the most reliable information. It has been ray aim to make a readable book, and at the same time one that will be an authentic history of the part played by Canada in the fierce war just terminated, the fiercest and most disastrous struggle that England has endured since the Crimea, and one that will doubtless cost her, before South Africa is in a safe and settled condition, vastly larger sums than any other war in her history. Through the kindness of the Minister of Militia, the Honorable F. W. Borden, I have had access to the official reports of the officers commanding the various contingents, and have in this way been enabled to give with historical accuracy the events that have been reported and misreported in the despatches from the front. I have likewise examined with the greatest care the fine work done by such able Canadian correspondents as C. Frederick Hamilton and John Ewan, of the Globe; Stanley McKeown Brown, of the Mail and Empire; S. C. Von Tuger Simonski, of the Montreal Herald; W. Richmond Smith, of the Montreal Star, and others. But what has been of greater value to me in grasping for myself the story of Canada's Sons at the front has been the hundreds of letters - honest, straightforward, soldierly letters - from sons and brothers and husbands in the contingents.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's Sons and Great Britain in the World War To write a foreword for a book all the chapters of which one has not had an opportunity of reading seems a departure from one of the principles which has guided one's conduct since leaving Canada in September, 1914. But when asked to do so by the author I gladly acceded to his request, for I know him to be a true Canadian and one who has played a gallant part in the recent struggle. To me, it seems a good thing that soldiers like Colonel George Nasmith, C.M.G., should record what they themselves have seen on the battlefields of France and Flanders. Because it is almost impossible to recover the spirit of past years, official histories, though correct in fact, often lack the personal touch of the eyewitness. I therefore welcome this work, and confidently recommend it to the Canadian public. As Commander of the Canadian Corps the temptation is strong to take this opportunity to recount some of its doings, and to give an appreciation of the value of those achievements. But this is not the time nor the place to follow that inclination, rather let me attempt an appreciation of the man who made for the Canadian Corps whatever reputation it enjoys, the man whom the Germans liked the least and feared the most - the Canadian soldier. The gathering together as a fighting force of so many men from Canada, and the comparison of these men with other soldiers on the battlefields of Europe have impressed upon us the realization that a Canadian type of manhood has been evolved, by virtue of the admixture of races, the influence of environment, and the manner of life in our home-land.
