M. Ross, a former officer with the 8th Canadian Infantry Battalion, provides an overview of World War I.~In particular, Ross states that "Passchendaele will ever remain the ugly memory of the war as far as I am concerned - the filth, weather. Everything was as hard as it could possibly be." As "a first class mess, nothing was accomplished at all."~Among the topics Ross discusses are battle fatigue, shell shock, the "amazing companionship" and some of the officers including Brigadier-General Arthur Currie, a "marvellous soldier."Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
