Second to None: The Fighting 58th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force by Kevin R. Shackelton

Second to None: The Fighting 58th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force by Kevin R. Shackelton. This is a unit history of this Battalion recruited from Toronto. The author a relative of one of those who served has done an excellent job mixing unit history's with primary sources. I think this was geared towards a nonspecialist audience there's occasionally description of terminology which surprised me but it isn't too frequent to be frustrating to the expert. We need more History's like this for Canadian units.

Highly recommended!

Is available through Abebooks.
