University Of Toronto Roll Of Service 1914 1918

Excerpt from University of Toronto Roll of Service, 1914-1918 For the past five years Professor G. Oswald Smith has given most careful and helpful attention to the records of those of the graduates and undergraduates who served in the Great War. He has applied at every source where he thought most accurate information might be got, with the result that the Roll of Service, as it is now issued in final form, must be as accurate as earnest investigation can make it. It is a task which could only have been adequately performed by pious care. The record also will be kept and read with almost sacred regard by the friends of those who have fallen and who offered their lives for the cause of freedom. Future generations of graduates and undergraduates of this University will turn to this perpetual memorial. An outline is given of the different war activities in which the University was engaged during this period. This will recall to many the work in which they had a share, and will let those who come after us know how we sought to do our part in the War.

Gardens of Hell examines the human side of one of the great tragedies of modern warfare, the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War. In February 1915, beginning with a naval attack on Turkey in the Dardanelles, a combined force of British, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, and French troops invaded the Gallipoli Peninsula only to face crushing losses and an ignominious retreat from what seemed a hopeless mission. Both sides in the battle suffered huge casualties, with a combined 127,000 servicemen killed during the action. Patrick Gariepy has pieced together the battle from combatantsÆ own words. Drawn from diaries and letters and from stories passed down through generations of families, these firsthand accounts offer an honest, heartfelt, and sometimes painful testimony to a doomed campaign fought by the men who lived through the fury, terror, and grief that was Gallipoli. Gardens of Hell is a sensitive acknowledgment of the enormous human cost of military folly and failure.
