Description
"The 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, 1914-1919" provides a detailed and authoritative account of one of Canada's distinguished regiments during the Great War. Authored by Stewart Gordon Bennett, this work meticulously chronicles the unit's formation, training, and subsequent deployment to the battlefields of Europe. From its origins in central Ontario to the grueling trench warfare of the Western Front, the narrative captures the strategic movements, heroic engagements, and daily lives of the soldiers who served. The text offers in-depth coverage of pivotal battles such as Mount Sorrel, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, and Passchendaele, illustrating the regiment's evolution from a mounted rifle unit to an integral part of the Canadian infantry. This historical record serves as an essential resource for those interested in Canadian military heritage and the operational history of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. By blending official records with tactical analysis, Bennett offers a comprehensive view of the sacrifices made and the honors earned by the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles throughout the conflict, from mobilization to the final victory and the unit's return to Canada.
