Excerpt from A Canadian Soldier: George Harold Baker, Lieutenant Colonel 5th C. M. Killed in Action at Ypres, June 2nd, 1916I make no professions as a soldier, I lay claim to no special mission, my aim is to win, if possible, the confidence of my men and to leave the rest to circumstance and the turn of events.The memory of this gathering will follow me, you have strengthened my hand, and if ever I am in a tight place I shall try to acquit myself as you would have me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
