First sentence: In the spring of 1910, in North Vancouver, B.C., an idea was born in the minds of two prominent residents of the city. Alexander Phillips and Donald Cameron prepared and circulated a petition, asking the authorities in Ottawa to form a Military Unit, to be based in North Vancouver. As a final result of this initial action, the first enrolment if the 6th. Field Company CE was held in the City Hall on May 7th., 1912, when thirty men were taken on the strength of the new Unit.
Notes: The front matter includes a list of publishing committee members names. 
There is a description of the front cover image as follows: The front cover is a replica of the Official War Shield of the 6th. Field Company, designed by Cpl. Munro and cast in bronze in Zeist, Holland after the Armistice. One copy is in the collection of Official Unit Shields in Ottawa and another copy hangs in a place of Honour in the Drill Hall in North Vancouver, B.C.
