True Canadian War Stories

True Canadian War Stories brings together moving first-hand accounts of Canadians in the First World War, The Second World War, and Korea. Readers will feel the pain of saying goodbye to the family at home; the uncertainty of sailing off to foreign shores; the terror of fighting those first bloody battles; and the thrill - finally - of victory, demobilization, and homecoming. This unforgettable volume also contains recollections from the wives and sweethearts left at home - the heartaches, the terrible waiting, and the nightmares about the dreaded telegram - as well accounts of the lighter side of military life - the paperwork, the paraphernalia, the rigmarole, and the general lunacy of bureaucracy running amok. 

This anthology of true war stories from Legion Magazine is a moving testament to the enduring spirit and incredible courage of all those Canadians whose lives have been touched by war.
