Excellent book.

This is the best book I've read about the Canadian experience of WWI. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

Wonderful War Memior

This book is spectacular. As a 4th year history major (with an emphasis on Canadian military history) I can assure anybody who is looking for details on what it was like for the CEF in the trenches, Bird captures it perfectly.Other books by CEF Books are just as worthy and deserve to be checked out.

Powerful Story of First World War

A remarkable tale of trench warfare written in exceptional detail. Throughout there are bits of humour as well as showing the horrors of combat. The camaraderie between the soldiers is strongly demonstrated as well. A book hard to put down and one is compelled to read it a second time. The author had a brother killed in the First World War and tragically his son was killed in the Second World War. This man knows what he is writing about. Another great book by this author is No Retreating Footsteps.
