Fraser, Donald; Roy, Reginald H. (Editor)
The Journal of Private Fraser, 1914-1918: Canadian Expeditionary Force
334 pages. Index. Maps. Black and white photographic plates. "... A rare gem. I have been actively hunting for this sort of record and have come to realize just how rare such accounts are. This one also touches all the points an historian would wish to mention, from the attitudes of officers to frustration with the Ross rifle. One can only wonder how the journal survived and how it was composed." - Professor Desmond Morton, from dust jacket. Book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Would be graded very good if not for the fact that some rain appears to have fallen upon half-title and title pages (only) resulting in modest undulating. Average wear to dust jacket. A sound copy.
