"In this collection will be found a great variety of Poems and Songs and from almost every part of the English speaking nations of the world. The whole will form one grand galaxy of Patriotism well worthy to be preserved in the homes of every Canadian... I have arranged the anthology so as to make a kind of chronological sequence of the war, placing only a few of special significance at the front as a key to what follows... The collection consists of every variety of metre and merit, yet they all breath but one sentiment, one wish, and one heartfelt prayer for 'The Old Flag' and our late most Beloved Queen." - from author's Preface.
