This is the gripping story of how one man's half-century of
service and devotion helped build and develop the Hastings &
Prince Edward Regiment; and how that regiment played a vital role
in Canada's efforts during the Second World War. Angus Duffy was
Regimental Sergeant-Major during the Second World War; commanding
officer from 1958 to 1962, and Honorary Colonel from 1976 to 1981,
an da man revered and respected for his tough but humane approach
to leadership, and underlying belief that the common foot soldier
was more important than the commissioned officer. Although he
wasn't commanding officer during the Second World War, there was
little doubt that the Hastings & Prince Edward soldiers felt
they were serving in "Duffy's Regiment."
Illustrated with a number of captivating war photos, "Duffy's
Regiment" is a detailed, and often touching look at the impact one
man had on his regiment, and the incredible sacrifice of those
men.
