Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
This is the story of the average Canadian who volunteered for the Canadian Expeditionary Force told through the lens of one battalion - the 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division. This Highland Regiment fought in the Ypres Salient and in the Somme, at Vimy, Passchendaele, and Amiens. It suffered the first gas attack; its ranks were decimated as it fought at virtually every major battle in the European theatre.

The narrator was obviously American, as he pronounced words improperly, or not as they are in Canadian English. Specifically the rank of lieutenant. In the British system, it is pronounced 'lef-te-nant', not 'loo-te-nant.' This was upsetting as the officers that he spoke of were not given the respect properly afforded to them, by erroneously pronouncing the rank to which they obtained and served as.
