Les poilus canadiens: Le roman du vingt-deuxième bataillon canadien-français

A vivid chronicle of the 22ᵉ bataillon canadien‑français, this narrative immerses listeners in the spirit of a unit that carried the motto “Je me souviens” onto the battle‑scarred fields of France. Through the eyes of its officers and foot soldiers, the story captures the fierce determination that propelled eight hundred men into the maelstrom at Courcelette, where they faced overwhelming odds with courage and an unshakable sense of duty to their homeland.

The novel balances stirring battlefield scenes with tender reflections on memory, family, and the cultural heritage that fuels the soldiers’ resolve. As the fighting unfolds, the reader hears the echo of Quebec’s rolling plains and forests in the hearts of those who march forward, feeling both the terror of artillery and the camaraderie that binds them. This first act sets the stage for a tale of sacrifice, honor, and the enduring power of collective remembrance.
