Nova Scotia's Part in the Great War

This volume paints a vivid picture of Nova Scotia’s contribution to the Great War. Using official records, soldiers’ diaries and interviews, it tells of the province’s infantry battalions, the bustling Halifax naval base, and the volunteers who kept supply lines moving.

Written by a former officer, the narrative offers a thorough account that fits easily into one listening session.

The result is a tribute to a province whose unity and sacrifice left an enduring mark on Canadian history, inviting listeners to appreciate a chapter of courage that remains both informative and moving. Its concise format makes it ideal for a short listening journey, while the vivid details bring the province’s wartime spirit to life.
