Daniel MacMillan never saw the battlefields of Passchendaele or
Vimy Ridge. A farmer in the tiny New Brunswick community of
Williamsburg, he experienced the Great War entirely from the "home
front." War on the Home Front: The Farm Diaries of Daniel
MacMillan, 1914-1927 is a portrait of the other side of war from
the perspective of a man who, like countless families across North
America, had no choice but keep on going with his life as sons,
nephews, brothers and fathers fought and died on battlefields
worlds away. As MacMillan's moving wartime diaries reveal, these
years took a terrible toll on him, his family, his farm, and his
community. A fascinating chronicle of wartime life, Daniel
MacMillan expressed the fear, anxiety and uncertainty as well as
the sense of duty and fortitude that characterized the war
experience on an individual level, making the tragic four-year
event much clearer in diary form than in second-hand reports. His
insider's account of supplying money, men, equipment, and
especially food for the country and the troops documents the often
unnoticed sacrifices of rural people in wartime and their post-war
struggles to recover. The diary is also a testament to the loyalty
of the people of Stanley parish, who mobilized the churches,
women's groups and other institutions to provide aid to the troops
overseas, the Red Cross and other war-related issues. A unique
historical document, War on the Home Front encompasses entries
written between 1914 and 1927 in which MacMillan describes the
hardships of running a farm in the face of acute labour shortages
and the anguish of losing friends and neighbours in battle. War on
the Home Front is Volume 7 in the New Brunswick Military Heritage
Series.
