Summary:
During the Second World War, hundreds of New Brunswick woodsmen joined the
Canadian
Forestry
Corps
to log the Scottish Highlands as part of the
Canadian
war effort. Patrick "
Pat
"
Hennessy
of Bathurst was one of them. For five years,
Pat
served as camp cook with 15 Company of the
Canadian
Forestry
Corps
near the ancient town of
Beauly
,
Scotland
. A middle-aged New Brunswick farmer and lumberman with a third grade education,
Pat
saw more of the world than he had ever dreamed of, visiting ancient battlefields he had learned about as a child, travelling to his ancestral Ireland, and attending a course of lectures in British history at Oxford University. While in
Scotland
,
Pat
regularly corresponded with his family in New Brunswick. Drawing from this collection of more than three hundred
letters
, as well as hundreds of archival documents and photographs, Melynda Jarratt provides a rare glimpse of what life was like for
Canadian
servicemen overseas and for their relatives at home.
