The diary of David Watson, who rose through the officer ranks to
command one of the four divisions in the Great War, is an
exceptional document that details with candid insight the
responsibilities of senior command and shows the talent required to
rise through the CEF to divisional command. The only published
diary of a Canadian who held this rank in the last two (critical)
years of the war, it focuses on the evolution of military
leadership and associated challenges that Watson (and his peers)
faced during the Great War. It recounts how he navigated not only
the military battlefield in France and Belgium but also the
political battlefield of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and
larger British Expeditionary Force. The divisional commanders
played a central role in the Corps' transformation into a
first-rate professional army, a transformation that coincided with
Watson's tenure at the 4th Division. Major-General David Watson's
personal accounts offer valuable insights into the innermost
workings of the Canadian Corps at various stages during the war and
in particular its emergence as an elite fighting force and the
pride of a nation.
