Summary:
They fought at Ypres in the fall of 1915, on the Somme at Courcelette and Regina Trench in 1916. They carried on to Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, and Passchendaele in 1917. They were part of the battles at Amiens and the Hundred Days campaign of 1918. The
26th
Battalion
was the only infantry unit from
New
Brunswick
(and one of only 24 from the rest of Canada) to serve continuously on the Western Front from 1915 until the Armistice in 1918. More than 5,700
soldiers
passed through its ranks during the First World

: 900 were killed and nearly 3,000 were wounded. A
Family
of
Brothers
tells the powerful story of the 'Fighting
26th
,' from their mobilization to the aftermath of the
war
. Using letters, newspaper accounts,
war
diaries, and other official documents, Brent Wilson offers a compelling account of the
soldiers
at the front and those behind the lines, their experiences of the
war
and how their lives would be transformed upon their return to the Canada.
