Publisher's Description:

A selection of the reminiscences of Canadian men and women who lived through the First World War from oral history collected in 1974. In evoking the humour, anger, heartaches and controversy of the war years, their stories give a view of ordinary lives in wartime which official histories have long ignored. Illustrated.
