SUBTITLED : ` Canadian Veterans and the Return to Civilian Life: 1915 -1930.' 328 pages with a large section of appendices - including one showing likelihood of wound survival - and an INDEX. As WWI vets returned, Canada was in a state of jingoistic opportunism. Muddying the waters slightly was the question: Was the American or the British model, the ideal to follow ? If every returning soldier had been able-bodied and willing to take up farming on newly opened lands, things would have breezed along. Yet, there was the question of compensation and even one of enemy aliens. LEARN about Old Originals, Alex Ross, prosthetics, widows, MHC, Canteen Fund, slackers, Vimy Pilgrimage, and neurasthenia. Cond : Boards are orange with black lettering. Front cover photo is of soldiers of the CEF waiting for demobilization in England. Volume is tight bright, square and clean with minimal wear. Minimal soiling. Has a Calgary libray stamp(s) and a Sale Item stamp. None-the-less an excellent reference. Quote (p. 82) : " That evening, 2 August, the midsummer heat filled Toronto's business thoroughfares with civilians, soldiers, returned men , and convalescents from the big hospitals. Rumours that Greek waiters had attacked a disabled veteran at the White City Cafe on Yonge Street provided a spark ._._._. ." Size: Octavo. N° de réf. du vendeur 007914
