Excerpt from The Battle Glory of Canada: Being the Story of the Canadians at the Front, Including the Battle of Ypres It has been said that it is a mistake to begin by an apology, but perhaps there are exceptions to the rule, and I think this little book needs a word or two of explanation. At this early period it is wellnigh impossible to put together a complete story of the gallant Canadians at the Front. I have done what I could with the means at my disposal in the shape of interviews with officers and men who have returned wounded or invalided from the Front, to weave together the tale of the Dominion troops in France. I have let officers and men tell their own story as far as possible. Naturally there are gaps in the account, and the criticism might with justice be made that some battalions are more fully mentioned than others. That must inevitably be the case from the nature of the materials at my disposal. But in spite of obvious defects, I hope this short account may help my readers to understand better what the "boys" from Canada have done, not only in "saving the situation" at Ypres, but in the trenches.

Excerpt from The Canadians in France: 1915-1918 IN the record which follows, the reader will find a detailed though entirely unofficial - history of the Canadian Army Corps, that great force of four divisions and Corps Troops which won for the Dominion the praise of the world as the mother of warrior sons. Certain points in connection with the work require explana tion. I have dealt solely with the operations of the Corps in the presence of the enemy. Events not actually connected with the operations have been omitted, except when of peculiar importance or essential to the proper understanding of the narrative. As a result, non-combatant units and those not normally concerned with the all-important work of killing Germans may appear to suffer. I have given these credit for their performances in certain places. The reader must look upon these troops as the invisible parts of the machine, as necessary to its efficiency as the fighting men and without which the entire mechanism would break down. It has not been possible to mention all persons who earned the right to have their individual achievements set down in history. If this were done, the book would be merely a directory. But many hundreds of gallant officers and men receive their due. Care has been taken in defining the identity of units. All troops referred to are Canadians and infantry unless otherwise stated. The term Imperial has been used to indicate tr00ps recruited in the British Isles, except in the case of units of the Tank Corps and Royal Air Force, which were all raised in the United Kingdom and so need no such distinction. Readers who desire to ascertain the areas from which various Canadian battalions, etc., were drawn are referred to the Appendix.

Excerpt from Over the Canadian Battlefields: Notes of a Little Journey in France, in March, 1919 HE articles which go to make up this little book were written for news paper publication immediately fol lowing the journey over the battlefields, in France in March, 1919, which I had been enabled to make, through the courtesy and kindness of the Canadian Corps Comman der. They were published in April, 1919, in the Manitoba Free Press, Winnipeg; and are now republished at the request of many friends who have asked that they be made available in more permanent form. Though the articles reveal their journal istic origin alike in their form and in a certain evanescent timeliness, already part ly out of date it has not been considered ad visable, under the circumstances, to re-cast them into more permanent form.

Excerpt from Canada's Hundred Days: With the Canadian Corps From Amiens to Mons, Aug 8 Nov, Nov, 11, 1918 Canadian Corps during the Hundred Days. To that consideration every other has been subordinated. By identifying so far as possible the actual battle position of individual battalions it is hoped to stimulate local pride and interest in their respective territorial or recruiting areas. Difficulties were here encountered, both through absence Of detailed Oflicial narratives and limitations of space, but if full justice has not been done each fighting unit, it is not from lack of application and goodwill.

Excerpt from Through the Hindenburg Line: Crowning Days on the Western Front I write of Canada in arms. War has brought the Dominion and the rest of the Empire together as never before. It has opened a new era in our relations with America. It has given deeper meaning to our kinship with France Canadians recognise that the glory of Canada in this war is but part of the common whole. We know the great things that Britain has done. Our men have fought side by side with West Kents and Buffs, Gordons and Seaforths, Borderers and Naval Brigade. Our dead lie in common graves from Passchendaele to the Somme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Canada War Book: January, 1919 Another, lesson. More than fifty thousand of Canada's soldiers, sailors, airmen, doctors, nurses, and others gave their lives for the cause of freedom - that those at home might live and might be free. Purchased at such enormous cost, surely the lives and the liberties of Canadians are too precious to be frittered away in the foolish pursuit of unnecessary pleasures. Time must be carefully used; every day at school must be employed to the very best advantage so that, when the boys and girls become men and women, they will be fitted to take the places of those who will never return from the battlefield. Every boy and every girl must be careful to waste no time; must secure as soon as possible the best available. Education so as to be fitted for the loyal service Canada will require.
