Interview of William J. Holmes, age 74, of Toronto, who was born in a log house on farm near Belleville, Ontario in 1899. He talks about: his father’s farm; his childhood; the family’s religion; his strict religious upbringing; studying for the ministry at Albert College but leaving his studies; his view that the First World War brought people closer to religion and the church; working in the grain field when the Methodist Minister came by with news that the war had broken out; the shock of hearing the news even thought it was expected; his brothers not enlisting because they were married; his running away to enlist to get away from home, even though he was under age; his father finding out and getting him out of the army before he went overseas; his view that it was a just war; a thunderstorm that killed a number of people on Queenston Heights; a story about soldiers throwing a mean officer over the side of a ship before they got to Europe; his being needed on the farm during wartime; his later resentment that his father had gotten him out of the army; how the war affected people’s lives, especially those who lost relatives; how the war gave Canadians a sense of themselves as a nation; how Canadian soldiers adjusted to military discipline, training and military life; Canadian Prime Ministers Robert Borden, William Lyon Mackenzie King and Arthur Meighen; conscription; not noticing any food shortages on the farm; his leaving the farm for good in 1928; how unions came along after the war because of unemployment; the influenza epidemic; a story about a submarine, and his opinion of the U.S. troops during the war.
