Descripción
Sumario:An anthology of epitaphs drawn from the war cemeteries where Canadian soldiers lie buried in Flanders and France. Photographs and war art will transport readers to the sites, and each chapter will review the sources and themes of the epitaphs to establish their place in the national memory of the First World War.
Notas:"In memory of the Canadians who fought and died in the Great War, and the families devastated by their loss, this book takes for its subject the personal inscriptions found on the headstones of Canadian soldiers at rest in France and Flanders. It gathers into one place a representative selection of about a thousand examples drawn from a wide array of war cemeteries, some on the beaten track, others sequestered in remote areas all the more worth seeking out for their solitude and silence."--Introduction.
