Description
Excerpt from Princess Patricia''s Canadian Light Infantry, 1914-1919, Vol. 1 of 2: Narrative
The record of Princess Patricia''s Canadian Light Infantry is a record of great and heroic deeds. The first Canadian unit to take the field in the Great War, the Regiment holds a place second to none in the annals of the armies which came from every part of our Empire to fight for the common cause. In this history of the Regiment we are privileged to follow the fortunes of the brave men who enlisted in its ranks.
The story has brought out the magnificent spirit of devoted service and self sacrifice which has justly won for it so great a name. One of the traditions of the Regiment, a tradition in keeping with the noblest ideals in our history, and a tradi tion, moreover, which was preserved by all ranks throughout the War, was the effacement of the individual in securing the advancement of the unit. All those who read the following pages will feel that they owe a debt of gratitude to Lieutenant Hodder Williams for the masterly manner in which he has told the tale of those who, by their service, brought honour to themselves and lasting glory to the memory of the Regiment.
