Brave Battalion: The Remarkable Saga of the 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) in the First World War

摘要

Mark Zuehlke's Brave Eiattalion is the accomplished Canadian military historian's first attempt at a First World War narrative history. It follows the 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) on its journey from Canada to the battlefields of the Western Front and back again. In the 16th, Zuehlke has a perfect subject for a look at Canada's involvement in the Great War. The battalion was formed in August 1914, just weeks after the outbreak of war, by amalgamating four companies from pre-existing Highland regiments out of Victoria, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Hamilton.
