Table of ContentsReviews"Soldiers is an impressive collection of biographies offering valuable insight into a generation of New Brunswickers who went off to war - many of whom never returned. Bruce Morton has done a service to Canadians by preserving these stories of a fading generation of young men through careful research. Each biography places the soldier in the context of the wider war and provides the reader with a harrowing understanding of what it meant to serve in a frontline infantry battalion in 1944-1945. - Alex Fitzgerald-Black, Executive Director, Juno Beach Centre Association Bruce Morton in Canada has the same motivation as I, co-founder of the non-profit organization Faces to Graves, in the Netherlands: we want to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice that the soldiers made: they lost their lives. By telling their stories they will not be forgotten... Lest We Forget."" -Alice van Bekkum, President, Faces to Graves, Groesbeek Foundation Often, history books tell the stories of the past from a bird's-eye view of great battles, generals, and armies. Bruce Morton's new installment titled Soldiers looks at the rare and intimate point of view of the combatants who directly impacted the war. His work has been published on multiple social media groups and printed publications. All this painstaking work has been assembled for this book, which shows the reader the true human face of war.- Brandon Savage President of the NS(NB)R Assoc., History Teacher and partner with North Shore Legacy Tours Bruce's latest book reflects a monumental task to assemble these personalized WW II veterans' individual stories. Through personalized two-pager biographies he started to write in 2017, he has immortalized in time the life story of approximately 200 soldiers of the Regiment. Bruce`s latest book is the culmination and compilation of seven years of research and writing on a significant number of our NS (NB) Regt veterans - an incredible achievement! - Colonel R�nald Dufour, past CO, NS(NB)R November 2017 - June 2021" Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
