Private Charles Smith had been dead for close to a century when
Jonathan Hart discovered the soldier's small diary in the Baldwin
Collection at the Toronto Public Library. The diary's first entry
was marked 28 June 1915. After some research, Hart discovered that
Charles Smith was an Anglo-Canadian, born in Kent, and that this
diary was almost all that remained of this forgotten man, who like
so many soldiers from ordinary families had lost his life in the
First World War. In reading the diary, Hart discovered a voice full
of life, and the presence of a rhythm, a cadence that urged him to
bring forth the poetry in Smith's words. Unforgetting Private
Charles Smith is the poetic setting of the words in Smith's diary,
work undertaken by Hart with the intention of remembering Smith's
life rather than commemorating his death.
