Description

Donald Macpherson used to be assigned as gunner with the 9th Battery, C.F.A., in January of 1917, and used to be present on the battles of Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, and Passchendaele, earning a Military Medal on the latter.

His five small diaries, reproduced of their entirety here, comprise an engagingly articulate account of his wartime experiences, resolutely specializing in friends, circle of relatives and duty moderately than the horrors of war. A striking feature is the best way he used to be in a position to make contact with his brothers, all officers in three different units: Douglas within the 16th Canadian Scottish, Ewart within the Royal Flying Corps, and Ross in Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. All four of them were together in London on New Year’s Day, 1918. Donald used to be posted to the Battle of Amiens, where he used to be wounded, and he spent the rest of the war in military hospitals. Demobilized in 1919, Donald returned to his teaching career in Toronto.

With a foreword by noted naval historian Ken Macpherson, who provided the diaries and other details of his father’s war story.
