From the St. Lawrence to the Yser With the 1st Canadian
Brigade
by Frederic C. Curry
"Crumps"-the Plain Story of a Canadian Who Went
by Louis Keen
Two first hand accounts in one value edition
When the First World War broke out, the view of the British Empire
by those who built it, colonised it and spread its influence over
the globe was that of a strong closely bonded family held together
by common origin and purpose. There could be little doubt that the
peoples of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other countries would
quickly rally to a flag they considered their own as readily as
they had done in the past-particularly during the war in South
Africa just a decade and a half previously. These young,
enthusiastic, mostly citizen armies were comprised in the main of
the flower of the country's young manhood. In Canada these first
came from the members of the Canadian Militia, though such was the
demand to 'do ones bit' that this was quickly absorbed by
quantities of volunteers from the community at large eager to take
up arms in the service of the 'mother country.' These two first
accounts concern men of the First Canadians who join, train, sail
to Europe and throw themselves into the early battles with the
German Army in Belgium and France. They make absorbing reading as
perspectives of the infantry war from the Canadian viewpoint and
represent great value in this special two-in-one edition. Available
in softcover and hardback with dustwrapper.
