LEGACY OF VALOUR : The Canadians at Passchendaele by DANCOCKS, Daniel G
First Edition
Edmonton: Hurtig Publishers, 1986. pp: x, 289. Nineteen pages of b&w photographs, maps. Appendices, notes, bibliography, index. A long-overdue tribute to the heroism of the Canadian forces who took Passchendaele in the Third Battle of the Somme. Passchendaele is often dismissed by historians as not being an achievement. It was, in fact, a pivotal point of the Great War, shaking Germany to its foundations and presaging their ultimate defeat. The heroism of the Canadian soldier is highlighted by the fact that in less than two weeks they won nine Victoria Crosses, only one less than was won by all of the Canadian forces during the whole of WW II. . ISBN: 088830305X. First Edition. Cloth, Gilt Lettering.. Near Fine/Near Fine.. 8vo. Canada, History, Military, WW I, Passchendaele..
