Summary:
"After receiving a bundle of worn letters written by her late grandfather George 'Black Jack' Vowel during the First
World
War
, journalist Jacqueline Carmichael became fascinated with the daily realities and personal stories of those who had lived through that pivotal and harrowing period in history. Reaching beyond the battlefield descriptions found in most history books, Carmichael presents unforgettable accounts filled with drama, hope, and heartbreak culled from journals and letters of Allied soldiers and nurses. From tales of men 'shot at dawn' under charges of desertion or cowardice, to women cross-dressing to get into battle, to a Canadian Member of Parliament whose PTSD-induced death was barely acknowledged by Ottawa for nearly a century, True Stories from the Western Front reflects the human face of
war
. Featuring profiles of people from every Canadian province and many American
states
, including soldiers of Indigenous, Asian, Indo-Canadian, and African-Canadian and African-American backgrounds, this book is a touching tribute illustrated throughout by WWI-era photos, postcards, documents, and the author's contemporary photos from battlefield sites and monuments."--From publisher.
