Summary:
"What was the First World
War
really like for
Maritimers
overseas? This epistolary book, edited by historian Ross Hebb, contains the letters home of
three
Maritimers
with distinct wartime experiences: a front-line soldier from Nova Scotia, a nurse from New Brunswick, and a conscripted fisherman from Prince Edward Island. Up until now, these complete sets of handwritten letters have remained with the families, who agreed to share them in time for the one-hundredth anniversary of the
Great
War
's end in 2018. These letters not only give insight into the
war
, but provide greater understanding of life in rural Maritime communities in the early 1900s. In
Their
Own
Words
includes a learned introduction and background information on letter writers Eugene A. Poole, Sister Pauline Balloch, and Herry Heckbert, enabling readers to appreciate the context of these letters and
their
importance. A welcome companion to Hebb's earlier book, Letters Home:
Maritimers
and the
Great
War
; 1914 1918."--From publisher.
