Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada's Sons on Kopje and Veldt: A Historical Account of the Canadian Contingents In the preparation of this story of the three Canadian Contingents that have been so heroically fighting the Empire's battles in South Africa, the utmost care has been taken to get only the most reliable information. It has been ray aim to make a readable book, and at the same time one that will be an authentic history of the part played by Canada in the fierce war just terminated, the fiercest and most disastrous struggle that England has endured since the Crimea, and one that will doubtless cost her, before South Africa is in a safe and settled condition, vastly larger sums than any other war in her history. Through the kindness of the Minister of Militia, the Honorable F. W. Borden, I have had access to the official reports of the officers commanding the various contingents, and have in this way been enabled to give with historical accuracy the events that have been reported and misreported in the despatches from the front. I have likewise examined with the greatest care the fine work done by such able Canadian correspondents as C. Frederick Hamilton and John Ewan, of the Globe; Stanley McKeown Brown, of the Mail and Empire; S. C. Von Tuger Simonski, of the Montreal Herald; W. Richmond Smith, of the Montreal Star, and others. But what has been of greater value to me in grasping for myself the story of Canada's Sons at the front has been the hundreds of letters - honest, straightforward, soldierly letters - from sons and brothers and husbands in the contingents.

Download or read book Canada s Sons on Kopje and Veldta Hstorical Account of the Canadian Contingents written by T. G. Marquis and published by . This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely seen as a purely British affair, the fact that the South African War ( or Boer War) involved troops from the Dominions of the British Empire is too often forgotten. This book helps right this historical memory lapse, telling as it does the full story of Canada s military role in the conflict. IN fact Canada s contribution was a major one, as this book amply attests. Some 8,300 Canadian soldiers served in South Africa; 242 of them were killed in action and many awards were won - including four Victoria Crosses. The first Canadian contingent consisted of eight companies; the second of two battalions and five batteries of artillery; along with Strathcona s Horse. This book is based both on the official despatches of Lieut.-Col. W.D. Otter and other senior officers; along with cables sent by Canadian war correspondents accompanying their forces. There are appendices listing the names of the officers and men who fought; along with a Roll of Honour. This book restores a neglected page to the record of Canada s proud military history.

Download or read book Bergsonism written by Gilles Deleuze and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1988-03 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this analysis of one major philosopher by another, Gilles Deleuze identifies three pivotal concepts - duration, memory, and lan vital - that are found throughout Bergson's writings and shows the relevance of Bergson's work to contemporary philosophical debates. He interprets and integrates these themes into a single philosophical program, arguing that Bergson's philosophical intentions are methodological. They are more than a polemic against the limitations of science and common sense, particularly in Bergson's elaboration of the explanatory powers of the notion of duration - thinking in terms of time rather than space.
