When your number's up : the Canadian soldier in the First World War
"Past the worse fighting here since the war started, we took all kinds of prisoners but God we lost heavy, all my camarades killed or wounded, we are only a few left but all the same we gain what we were after, we are in rest dear wife it is worse than hell, the ground is covered for miles with dead corpses all over and your Frank past all true that without a scratch pray for me dear wife I need it very bad I went true all the fights the same as if I was making logs I baynetted some killed others I was caught in one place with a chum of mine he was killed beside me when I saw he was killed I saw red we were the same like in a butchery, the Germans when they saw they were beaten they put up their hands up but dear wife it was to late as long as I leave I’ll remember it." -- Back cover
