"In the first decades of the twentieth century, the lives of many young Canadian men and women were forever changed and in many cases extinguished by a war in Europe. The "war to end it all wars" was not the final conflict of the twentieth century by any means, and its repercussions are felt to this day. Many of the fighting men committed by the Canadian Armed Forces came from New Brunswick. Some would give the ultimate sacrifice. As a high school graduate in Hillsborough NB, Stanley was given an opportunity to go to the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. His life, loves and adventures were personalized in a diary beginning in 1915 as he began this phase of his life. It is a pognant and telling document of a maturing and adventure-some student and later, a soldier. Every entry is reproduced here as well as many letters to his mother, brother and friends. Ultimately, Stanley would be killed in the trenches of France. A life cut short. This is his life in his own words."--Back cover.
