Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle Glory of Canada: Being the Story of the Canadians at the Front, Including the Battle of Ypres It has been said that it is a mistake to begin by an apology, but perhaps there are exceptions to the rule, and I think this little book needs a word or two of explanation. At this early period it is wellnigh impossible to put together a complete story of the gallant Canadians at the Front. I have done what I could with the means at my disposal in the shape of interviews with officers and men who have returned wounded or invalided from the Front, to weave together the tale of the Dominion troops in France. I have let officers and men tell their own story as far as possible. Naturally there are gaps in the account, and the criticism might with justice be made that some battalions are more fully mentioned than others. That must inevitably be the case from the nature of the materials at my disposal. But in spite of obvious defects, I hope this short account may help my readers to understand better what the "boys" from Canada have done, not only in "saving the situation" at Ypres, but in the trenches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Example in this ebook CHAPTER I A HURRIED PILGRIMAGE In the first days of March, 1919, I made hurriedly a pilgrimage that will be made in more leisurely manner by thousands of Canadians in coming years. For while the memory of the Great War endures and Canada retains her national consciousness, Canadians, generation after generation for centuries to come, will follow the Canadian way of glory over the battlefields of France and Flanders, with reverent hearts and shining eyes, learning anew the story of what will doubtless always remain the most romantic page in our national history. For lack of time I had to forego my visit to the bitter battlefields of Flanders: Ypres, where the Canadians held the line against all odds when German hopes for the Channel ports appeared for the moment to be on the point of fulfilment; Festubert, St. Eloi and Sanctuary Wood, the scenes of desperate encounters where the Canadians learned hard lessons in the art of beating the Boche; and Passchendaele, where the very doubtful and questionable Flanders campaign of 1917 had a victorious finale by the resounding achievement of the Canadian corps in capturing the ridge which had so long defied assault. But the other Canadian battle-fronts I saw, albeit hurriedly and under weather conditions which were far from propitious; and perhaps some notes of my impressions may not be entirely lacking in interest to the Canadian public. But before going on to this something might be said on the general subject of visits to the Canadian battlefields of the western European front. At the moment of course this area is sealed to visitors. It constitutes a military zone which can only be entered under the authority of a "white pass." Unless one is accompanied by a member of the military staff he cannot get this pass nor would it be of use to him because there is in this belt of wilderness which lies athwart one of the oldest and most populous areas in Europe no means of transportation and no accommodation for the unattached civilian. But this of course is a condition that will speedily pass. In a year's time, or less, the tides of travel will pour over these highways; and among the travellers will be all sorts and conditions of men; from the idle sightseers seeking a new sensation amidst these mute memorials of human conflict to the reverent pilgrim following step by step the road of sacrifice and glory trodden by his countrymen in the Great Crusade. It is desirable that for Canadians making this pilgrimage there should be, so to speak, a beaten path which they can follow with the certainty that, with a minimum of time, they can bring away with them something approaching adequate understanding of Canada's contribution to the great European campaigns. There is a proposition, not without strong support in army circles, that Canada should erect and maintain in perpetuity a number of battle shrines which would be stations on this pilgrimage. The suggested sites are Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Bourlon Wood and some point in the district of Amiens, either in Courcelette or further south, in the track of the Canadian avalanche of August 8, 1918. These shrines, it is proposed, should contain plans of the adjoining battle-fields in topographical relief, maps, diagrams, detailed histories of the actions, information as to the Canadian cemeteries in the neighborhood—they should be the headquarters for all that a Canadian, ten, twenty or fifty years hence, will want to know. If this plan is carried out there should also be available official Canadian guides fully equipped to tell the story of Canadian achievement. To be continue in this ebook

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadians in France: 1915-1918 IN the record which follows, the reader will find a detailed though entirely unofficial - history of the Canadian Army Corps, that great force of four divisions and Corps Troops which won for the Dominion the praise of the world as the mother of warrior sons. Certain points in connection with the work require explana tion. I have dealt solely with the operations of the Corps in the presence of the enemy. Events not actually connected with the operations have been omitted, except when of peculiar importance or essential to the proper understanding of the narrative. As a result, non-combatant units and those not normally concerned with the all-important work of killing Germans may appear to suffer. I have given these credit for their performances in certain places. The reader must look upon these troops as the invisible parts of the machine, as necessary to its efficiency as the fighting men and without which the entire mechanism would break down. It has not been possible to mention all persons who earned the right to have their individual achievements set down in history. If this were done, the book would be merely a directory. But many hundreds of gallant officers and men receive their due. Care has been taken in defining the identity of units. All troops referred to are Canadians and infantry unless otherwise stated. The term Imperial has been used to indicate tr00ps recruited in the British Isles, except in the case of units of the Tank Corps and Royal Air Force, which were all raised in the United Kingdom and so need no such distinction. Readers who desire to ascertain the areas from which various Canadian battalions, etc., were drawn are referred to the Appendix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Patriot War In 1763 when Gen. Gage, the British commander, drafted a contin gent of French Canadians to aid in revenging on the Indians the massa cre of the garrison at Mackinaw, the levies were treated as beasts of burden, and set to work at the point of the bayonet, while the British regulars sat at ease in their tents. The legislative council or senate excluded all natives of Canada from a share in the conduct of its affairs. N 0 correct idea can be given within the narrow limits of a newspaper history of the vexatious injustice practiced upon the French population. They were at one time denied the right of sitting as jurors, and were in many respects a proscribed class. Small wonder that many French Canadians joined the ranks of the heroes of the American revolution in 1776.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada in the Great World War, Vol. 5: An Authentic Account of the Military History of Canada From the Earliest Days to the Close of the War of the Nations Into this solemn country of graves and ruins, the Canadians came as men coming home after trying days. It did not matter that from Givenchy Wood one could look upon the ruins of five Villages. It did not matter that winter was coming with all its ordeals of cold and exposure. They had made this area their own before they went to Passchendaele and they slipped back into their Old positions rejoicing. Start ing at Hill 7 O, the front lines ran south and east to wards Lens, claiming the higher levels and half cir cling the city. They Skirted Cit St. Auguste, which was German, while Cit St. Emile and Cit St. Eliza beth were in Canadian hands. The Green Crassier was German; so was Cit St. Antoine; but Avion was in our hands. Further south, NO Man's Land widened, and from the eastern lpes Of Vimy Ridge the Cana dian line ran well forward, with the enemy in posses sion of Mericourt and Acheville. At Fresnoy, which was in German hands, the lines narrowed again, with the Canadians holding Arleux-en - Gohelle. Our men were practically in the outskirts Of Oppy, where the lines were so close together that in one place only a few feet separated the trenches. Further south, Ga vrelle, in our hands, practically marked the end Of the Canadian front. It was all familiar ground, and all ranks settled down for a comfortable, quiet winter. The phrase, of course, was purely a comparative one. There was little Of comfort or quiet in France at any time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An American Soldier: Letters of Edwin Austin Abbey, 2d The letters are printed, with little or no editing, as they were written from the engineers' shack in the Canadian. Woods, or from overseas in camp, trench, or hospital. There was, of course, no idea in the mind of the writer that they would ever be published. That they are is due to the insistent request of many who have found in them both illumination and inspiration. They tell their own story. The summer of 1915 was spent in superintend ing the construction of the bridge at Shaw's Creek, which was completed at the end of September. On October 2d, the writer of the letters enlisted in the Second Canadian Pioneer Battalion, in Toronto, going overseas on December 6th, and arriving at the Flanders Front on the 1lth of March, 1916 Early in the morning of April 23d, Easter Day, Lance Corporal E. A. Abbey was wounded, and a week later sent to England, where he remained seven months. On December lst he was returned to France, gazetted Lieutenant, Fourth Canadian Mounted Rifles, and went at once to the front, where he was killed in action at Vimy Ridge, on the morning of Easter Tuesday.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I is beyond the memory of almost everyone alive today. Yet it has left as deep a scar on the imaginative landscape of our century as it has on the land where it was fought. Nowhere is that more evident than on the Western Front-the sinuous, deadly line of trenches that stretched from the coast of Belgium to the border of France and Switzerland, a narrow swath of land in which so many million lives were lost. For journalist Stephen O'Shea, the legacy of the Great War is personal (both his grandfathers fought on the front lines) and cultural. Stunned by viewing the "immense wound" still visible on the battlefield of the Somme, and feeling that "history is too important to be left to the professionals," he set out to walk the entire 450 miles through no-man's-land to discover for himself and for his generation the meaning of the war. Back to the Front is a remarkable combination of vivid history and opinionated travel writing. As his walk progresses, O'Shea recreates the shocking battles of the Western Front, many now legendary-Passchendaele, the Somme, the Argonne, Verdun-and offers an impassioned perspective on the war, the state of the land, and the cultivation of memory. His consummate skill with words and details brings alive the players, famous and faceless, on that horrific stage, and makes us aware of why the Great War, indeed history itself, still matters. An evocative fusion of past and present, Back to the Front will resonate, for all who read it, as few other books on war ever have.
