Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Illustrated by Wilson, Gordon (illustrateur). First Edition. "A collection of stories from across the BC/Yukon Command which is part of our legacy of service and remembrance. These are stories of our nation at war and in peace. But they are also, first and foremost, the stories of individuals. They are the stories of our fathers and grandfathers - of our mothers, daughters, uncles, and sons. We publish this book to tell the story of their bravery, to pay homage to their sacrifice, and to preserve the memory of those no longer with us. In short, it is a work of collective history - a bottom-up approach to Remembrance." - page 1. 376 glossy pages. Generously illustrated with black and white reproductions of archival photos.
