Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's Sons and Great Britain in the World War To write a foreword for a book all the chapters of which one has not had an opportunity of reading seems a departure from one of the principles which has guided one's conduct since leaving Canada in September, 1914.

Download or read book Canadian Poems of the Great War Classic Reprint written by John William Garvin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Poems of the Great War Reat poets are the seers and prophets of a nation - of the world. Their function is to interpret life and nature in terms of beauty and passion, and through imagination and inspiration, reveal the Infinite and the True. All writers of good verse cannot be great poets, and it is only the works of the latter that permanently endure; but those of minor qualities reflect and influence their own generation, and have an important mission in the evolution of national life. In proportion as the individual or the nation despises or neglects poetry, there exists a state of moral and spiritual degeneracy. Materialism prevails, and loyal service and generous sacrifice give place to selfishness and unfair advantage. The memories of the young should be stored with beautiful and noble verse. The centuries seem to mark distinct eras in the development and fashion of poetry. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Burns, Shelley, Keats, Byron, and later, Tennyson, were the dominating leaders of the remarkable school of English poets of the 19th century; and their standards are still potent. Browning cannot be classed with this school. He belongs to the 20th century. And today, Browning, Whitman and Kipling overshadow all others as leaders of poetic thought and expression. More and more are the poets realizing that the quality of beauty is universal; and hence that there is nothing in this subjective-objective world, outside the pale of artistic expression. More and more are they seeking themes of intense human interest, and striving for climaxes of spiritual beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canada War Book: January, 1919 Another, lesson. More than fifty thousand of Canada's soldiers, sailors, airmen, doctors, nurses, and others gave their lives for the cause of freedom - that those at home might live and might be free. Purchased at such enormous cost, surely the lives and the liberties of Canadians are too precious to be frittered away in the foolish pursuit of unnecessary pleasures. Time must be carefully used; every day at school must be employed to the very best advantage so that, when the boys and girls become men and women, they will be fitted to take the places of those who will never return from the battlefield. Every boy and every girl must be careful to waste no time; must secure as soon as possible the best available. Education so as to be fitted for the loyal service Canada will require.

To them there was no No Man's Land. What is usually called such was ours, and regarded merely as an outpost of our fixed position. Later they initiated the daring cutting-out raids, which were soon to become a feature of trench warfare.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Canadian's View of the Battle of Plattsburgh It is of splendid augury that a great State thinks it fitting to ask to help in the celebration of the Centenary of a battle, citizens of a neighbouring state whose flag suffered there a reverse; and it is of even grander significance that these citizens accept that invitation with pleasure and, indeed, with eagerness. You of the State of New York see nothing extraordinary, much less improper, in inviting us to rejoice with you in the gladness of your nation; and we, Canadians to the finger-tips, Britons to the last drop of our blood, cordially unite with you in the glory of your inheritance. For the true significance of this occasion is not the victory and the defeat, but the adumbration of a hundred years of peace. We Canadians naturally and necessarily look at the war of 1812 from a different point of view from that of the American. Patriotism is cruel, and cannot be expected to be other than unjust.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Front in France and Flanders IT has been said that there is a romance about a great battle separate altogether from its history and from its influence on the destinies of nations. Such romance must, and does, surely then attach to a great war which envisages countless engage ments, and instead of a Single picture is a troop ing panorama of life and death, light and shade. And no man to whom was granted the privilege of taking part in the conflict now ended, and having eyes to see and ears to hear, and the wit to understand a little of that which passed in review before him, can have emerged quick from such experiences without bearing about him in his soul, if not visibly, wisps of the trailing cloud of glory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada in the Great World War, Vol. 5: An Authentic Account of the Military History of Canada From the Earliest Days to the Close of the War of the Nations Into this solemn country of graves and ruins, the Canadians came as men coming home after trying days. It did not matter that from Givenchy Wood one could look upon the ruins of five Villages. It did not matter that winter was coming with all its ordeals of cold and exposure. They had made this area their own before they went to Passchendaele and they slipped back into their Old positions rejoicing. Start ing at Hill 7 O, the front lines ran south and east to wards Lens, claiming the higher levels and half cir cling the city. They Skirted Cit St. Auguste, which was German, while Cit St. Emile and Cit St. Eliza beth were in Canadian hands. The Green Crassier was German; so was Cit St. Antoine; but Avion was in our hands. Further south, NO Man's Land widened, and from the eastern lpes Of Vimy Ridge the Cana dian line ran well forward, with the enemy in posses sion of Mericourt and Acheville. At Fresnoy, which was in German hands, the lines narrowed again, with the Canadians holding Arleux-en - Gohelle. Our men were practically in the outskirts Of Oppy, where the lines were so close together that in one place only a few feet separated the trenches. Further south, Ga vrelle, in our hands, practically marked the end Of the Canadian front. It was all familiar ground, and all ranks settled down for a comfortable, quiet winter. The phrase, of course, was purely a comparative one. There was little Of comfort or quiet in France at any time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Patriot War In 1763 when Gen. Gage, the British commander, drafted a contin gent of French Canadians to aid in revenging on the Indians the massa cre of the garrison at Mackinaw, the levies were treated as beasts of burden, and set to work at the point of the bayonet, while the British regulars sat at ease in their tents. The legislative council or senate excluded all natives of Canada from a share in the conduct of its affairs. N 0 correct idea can be given within the narrow limits of a newspaper history of the vexatious injustice practiced upon the French population. They were at one time denied the right of sitting as jurors, and were in many respects a proscribed class. Small wonder that many French Canadians joined the ranks of the heroes of the American revolution in 1776.
