A Collection of Essays by presumably grateful students. He was a considerable historian of Canada's WWII Army and a competent but not engaging writer.
though not a lively read, this is volume one of the Official History of the Canadian Army in the second world War. It has as high points the defence of Hong Kong and the raid on Dieppe. It begins with a short description of the Canadian Militia from the peace of 1918 to the outbreak of the war in 1939. Then we cover the domestic matters regarding recruitment and training.
