T DON'T lay claim to being much OF
a writer, and up till now 1 have
never felt the call to write any
thing about my experiences with the
Canadian troops In Belgium and
France, because have realized that
a great many other men saw quite as
much as l did and could beat me tell
ing about It. OF course I believed that
my experience was worth relating, and
I thought that the matter published In
the newspapers by professional writ
ers sort Of missed the essentials and
lacked the spirit Of the bitches" In q
good many ways in spite Of Its excel
lent literary style. but didn't see any
reason why 1t was up to me to make
an effort as a war historian until now.
Now there is a reason, as ] look at 1t.
I believe can show the two or three
millions Of my fellow countrymen who
will be tout there" before this war 10
over what they are going to be up
against and what they ought to pre-
pare for personally and individually.
