Canada in Flanders, Volume I

A vivid, first‑hand record of Canada’s early contribution to the Great War, this volume brings the story of the Canadian Expeditionary Force to life through clear, pictorial narrative and contemporary maps. The author, a trusted recorder of military events, guides listeners through the rapid mobilisation of thousands of volunteers, their training on the Valcartier plain, and the decisive moments that sent them across the Atlantic to the battle‑scarred fields of Flanders.

Interwoven with the perspectives of senior officials, the account captures the pride and resolve felt both at home and on the front lines, while honoring the soldiers who fell in the fighting at Ypres. Listeners gain insight into the broader Imperial effort, the camaraderie among the Dominions, and the nascent sense of a united Commonwealth emerging from the early months of conflict—without venturing beyond the initial campaigns.
