Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the teachers who came by the thousands, from near and far, to join the British war effort. August 1914: Flags waved, people cheered, and armies mobilized. Millions throughout Britain responded to the call to arms. War fever was contagious. In the far reaches of empire, young men also pledged their allegiance and prepared to serve the king and his empire. Among the patriots who joined the colors were thousands of schoolmasters and trainee teachers. In London, students and alumni from the London Day Training College left their classrooms and took the king’s shilling. In the dominions, hundreds of their professional counterparts in Perth, Auckland, and Toronto similarly reported to the military training grounds, donned uniforms, and embarked for the “old country” in its hour of need. This book tells their story. It recalls the decisions made by men who were united by their training, occupation, and imperial connections, but divided by social and geographical contexts and personal beliefs. It follows these teacher-soldiers as they landed on the beaches of Gallipoli, attacked across no man’s land in Flanders, on the Somme, and at Passchendaele, and finally broke through the Hindenburg Line and secured victory. Many did not survive the carnage of what became known as the Great War. And for those who did, men who’d been proud to call themselves Tommies, Anzacs, Enzeds, and Canucks, coming home would present even more challenges and adjustments. “Highly recommended for . . . those who wish to learn more about the social and educational make up of British and Commonwealth forces in the Great War.” —Argunners

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Torontonensis, 1921, Vol. 23: The Year Book of the Graduates of the University of Toronto 11] In anticipation, we peer impatiently into the shadows of an unknown future, our only guide the thin ray of hope and ambition by whose uncertain light we strive to read the magic word success. How dangerous a guide, and how. Easily we are diverted to alluring imitations of the word we seek! We'are venturing forth after these four years into a world which, in the grip of reaction from suffering and shock, has set its face toward materialism. We, too, are in the grip of that reaction; we, too, are in danger of valuing men and women, and thoughts and actions, by the cold test of materialism. The lessons we have learned of duty, sacrifice and fortitude, the ideals, the ambitions, the memories, we have cherished, we are likely to discard as out-grown and worn out. Thus, in place of success, we are likely to read fame, power, pleasure, wealth. These things may be the fruits of success; they do not spell the word itself. Many of us may never be famous, powerful, rich or at leisure, yet each one of us can attain success. Success consists simply of the fullest employment of the individual's ability, be it great or small; it is doing things with all one's might; it is sincerity. There is no royal road to success. There is only a narrow, uphill road which one must travel on foot. Its sign-posts are the lessons of the last four years.

Download or read book Reliving the Trenches written by Alan Filewod and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reliving the Trenches, three plays written by returned soldiers who served in the Great War with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in France and Belgium appear in print for the first time. With a critical introduction that references the authors' service files to establish the plays as memoirs, these plays are an important addition to Canadian literature of the Great War. Important but overlooked war memoirs that relive trench life and warfare as experienced by combat veterans, the three plays include The P.B.I., written and staged in 1920 by recently returned veterans at the University of Toronto. Parts of this play appeared in print in serial form in 1922. Glory Hole, written in 1929 by William Stabler Atkinson, and Dawn in Heaven, written and staged in Winnipeg in 1934 by Simon Jauvoish, have never been published. These plays impact Canadian literature and theatre history by revealing a body of previously unknown modernist writing, and they impact life writing studies by showing how memoirs can be concealed behind genre conventions. They offer fascinating details of the daily routines of the soldiers in the trenches by bringing them back to life in theatrical re-enactment.

Download or read book Searching for W P M Kennedy written by Martin L. Friedland and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Ireland in 1879, W.P.M. Kennedy was a distinguished Canadian academic and the leading Canadian constitutional law scholar for much of the twentieth century. Despite his trailblazing career and intriguing personal life, Kennedy’s story is largely a mystery. Weaving together a number of key events, Martin L. Friedland’s lively biography discusses Kennedy’s contributions as a legal and interdisciplinary scholar, his work at the University of Toronto where he founded the Faculty of Law, as well as his personal life, detailing stories about his family and important friends, such as Prime Minister Mackenzie King. Kennedy earned a reputation in some circles for being something of a scoundrel, and Friedland does not shy away from addressing Kennedy’s exaggerated involvement in drafting the Irish constitution, his relationships with female students, and his quest for recognition. Throughout the biography, Friedland interjects with his own personal narratives surrounding his interactions with the Kennedy family, and how he came to acquire the private letters noted in the book. The result is a readable, accessible biography of an important figure in the history of Canadian intellectual life.
