The Fighting Men Of Canada Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Fighting Men of Canada We have counted up our Shekels, we have turned our pennies in, We have kissed the girls and closed the waiting line; For there's business over yonder, dirty business for our kin, And we're shipping out together on the brine. And the call is DO your duty! Bon voyage! Farewell! Adieu! There'll be time for love and beauty When you've seen the business through!

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 The Canadian Fisherman, Vol. 4: January, 1917 A campaign for National Service is at present being instituted throughout Canada. Briefly it is a census of the man power of Canada - a tally of all male Cana' dians between the ages of 16 and 65, and the trade they are working at for a living. The National Service campaign foreshadows a full utilization of the country's resources for the success ful prosecution of the war. Men engaged in necessary occupations will he expected to work to their fullest capacity. Others, not so engaged and physically fit, vill be expected to join the ranks of the fighting men. We strongly urge every fisherman, fish-house work er, canner, and those actively engaged in the produc tion and distribution of fish foods, -to fill out their National Service cards and send them in. The fisheries are necessary to the life of the country. It is possible that the Fishing Industry will be asked to speed up production to supply food for the people at home and overseas. The Government can only do this effectively when it has a list of the men engaged in the industry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
