Summary
:
During the two world wars, nearly a million Canadians were stationed in military camps across Britain, waiting to be sent to the front lines. For some, this was their first time away from home, while others returned to the Mother Country that they had left not long before. Vance reconstructs life on the British home front and across battle lines during these defining moments in Canadian history.
