O knihe
This is another outstanding contribution to the bibliography of the Great War and to the part played by chaplains. It follows the fortunes of the 1st Canadian Division from the earliest days at Valcartier where men of the Canadian Expeditionary Force first assembled, through days of preparation in the UK, to the Western Front where the division arrived in February 1915, the first non-regular division to join the BEF. This record is as good as an official divisional history, though lacking illustrations and maps, and fills a void, since none of the four Canadian divisions that fought on the Western Front left a history of their doings. Canon Scott's descriptions of the life of the division, in and out of the line, present a wonderful account of a division at war. His only son was killed on the Somme, and his account of his search and discovery of his body makes moving reading. He lies buried in Bapaume Post Cemetery, just outside Albert of the road to Bapaume. This is a well recommended book, an outstanding history and account of the work of a chaplain in the field.
