An interview with Dr. J.G. Ferguson of Toronto, age 76, who was born in Huron County in 1898. Among the subjects discussed are: his childhood in rural Huron County; his enlistment in the First World War; the support of people of Anglo-Saxon background for the war; conflicts between Scots Presbyterians and Irish Catholics; back to reasons for enlisting, such as the propaganda of the era, the images of soldiers "playing at war" and the pressure arising from the feeling that joining up was the thing to do; efforts by men to avoid military service, such as farming and getting married; his brother’s service in the pre-war militia and during the First World War; Ferguson’s never having been so far away from home before; enjoying his military training in Ottawa; adjusting to military life; being mad at the non-commissioned officers for being abusive with the soldiers; befriending some Americans who came up to Canada to enlist; a friend from Quebec; the decision by some people to volunteer for overseas service because they were seeking adventure, even though they saw what was going on and knew what they were getting into; his experiences in battle in March 1918 as Canadian forces held off the Germans; his first impression of the noise made by shells; help given by the Salvation Army to soldiers stationed at the front; an incident of theft in Rouen; female Salvation Army workers; Sir Arthur Currie and other authorities; the Canadian monument at Mons; the Armistice celebrations at Mons; his sadness at leaving the army because he had made a lot of friends and felt lonely afterwards; trouble at a camp in Wales before the troops left from Glasgow to return to Canada; unrest caused because the Canadian troops were anxious to get back to Canada; pails full of beer; trouble among soldiers at Epsom; his discharge; rehabilitation; graduating from high school after the war; the misuse of funds meant for war veterans; adjusting to life after the war; his work after the war as a farmer and running playground programs; studying to be a doctor and his view that the war had not changed him.
