Review Quotes: "A richly detailed, highly literate Canadian soldier's diary from enlistment to the armistice. The book is greatly enhanced by the editor's introduction and notes. A must read."--Terry Copp, Director Emeritus, Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies and Professor Emeritus, Wilfrid Laurier University
"After being treasured by the family for over 100 years, Leslie Miller's diary is now made available to all Canadians. Miller offers unexpected insight into the experience of battle and the humanity of soldiers along the Western Front as they struggled to make sense of the war that raged around them in the maelstrom of destruction."--Tim Cook, author of Vimy: The Battle and the Legend
