of the
Great War
Chosen and Edited by
John W. Garvin
THIS Volume contains the best of the Canadian War Verse, written since August 4th, 1914. Seventy- three poets, represented by two hundred and twenty poems, are included. As an expression of Canada's loyalty, courage, pride, and the poig- nant suffering of great and noble sacrifice, it is unique and remarkable, and has psychological and historic value. Mr. Garyin has again achieved a notable success, and one that Canadians gener- erally will appreciate.

The Fighting Men of Canada
By Douglas Leader Durkin
THERE is freshness, vigor and virility to these verses—they have the sweep and swing and breeziness of the free, open spaces of the West in which they were created. While, on the one hand, they portray simple and elemental human moods, they reveal also a wonderfully sympathetic understanding of the secret emotions that have been profoundly stirred by the tragedies of the Great War.
