Excerpt from The Canadian Front in France and Flanders IT has been said that there is a romance about a great battle separate altogether from its history and from its influence on the destinies of nations. Such romance must, and does, surely then attach to a great war which envisages countless engage ments, and instead of a Single picture is a troop ing panorama of life and death, light and shade. And no man to whom was granted the privilege of taking part in the conflict now ended, and having eyes to see and ears to hear, and the wit to understand a little of that which passed in review before him, can have emerged quick from such experiences without bearing about him in his soul, if not visibly, wisps of the trailing cloud of glory.

Excerpt from Blood and Iron: Impressions From the Front in France and Flanders One of the chief objects of this volume is, therefore, the realisation of some of these emotions as the author himself experienced them, and as they were experienced by his friends He has drawn very freely upon his friends' experiences, because one man, after all, sees only an infinitesimal part of this game of war. To these friends, acknowledged and unacknowledged, he ofl'ers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from High Altars: The Battle-Fields of France and Flanders as I Saw Them Ith all the fervour of my soul I wish that every man - yes, and every woman, in the kingdom could see with their own eyes, and feel with every uttermost sense which God has vouchsafed them, the things I have just returned from seeing, across the water there in Northern France and Flanders.

Excerpt from On Active Service: Ideals of Canada's Fighting Men Great britain was reluctantly compelled to declare war on Germany in order to keep her treaty obligations with Belgium, and also to maintain her national freedom. Germany was inspired by ambitions which menaced our liberties. They imagined that they were the Supermen and that their mission in life was to dominate the world and propagate their Kultur. Great Britain, realising the stupendous struggle before her, called for volunteers, and the loyal sons of the Empire nobly responded to the call of duty, and nowhere more fully than in Canada. The flower and chivalry of Canadian manhood rushed to arms to fight for freedom, and for those great principles for which our fathers were willing to die. Canada may well be proud of her gallant sons. They are brave in battle, patient when wounded, and chivalrous to a fallen foe. They have certainly made good in France and Flanders and have won undying fame at St. Julien. St. Julien - write that word In the blood of the noble dead! Of the men who came at duty's call, And bravely fought and bled. They were loyal young Canadians, Yes, a brave heroic band; Who died for King and country, And the honour of the land.

Excerpt from With French in France and Flanders: Being the Experiences of a Chaplain Attached to a Field Ambulance During our short voyage of forty-eight hours we were convoyed from Ireland to Land's End by British men-of-war and through the English Channel by French warships. At Land's End the British ship that had been watching over us passed within hailing distance, and the blue jackets' crowded to the ship's side shouting their good wishes, to which our men responded with ringing cheers. Dawn found us at Le Havre, where we disembarked-a long process, as the horses and heavy waggons were not easy to get out of the hold in a port where there was, apparently, a shortage of heavy cranes.

Excerpt from The British Campaign in France and Flanders, 1915 In the previous volume of this work. Which dealt with the doings of the British Army in France and Flanders during the year 1914. L ventured to claim that a great deal of it was not only accurate but that it was very precisely correct in its detail. This claim has been made good. For although many military critics and many distinguished soldiers have read it there has been no instance up to date of any serious correction. Emboldened by this I am now put x forward an account of the doings of 1915, which will be equally detailed and, as I hope, equally accurate. In the late autumn._s_ my the story up to the end of 19 6, the series of battles upon the Somme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
