The author of the book states: "To the officers and men now serving in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Flanders, and to the memories of those who have fallen, I dedicate this little book." It is stamped in blue ink "Unique Bookstore" on the endpaper on the inside front cover, along with a "$50." price point in black ink. It begins with a Preface by the Right Honourable Bonar Law, M.P., LL.D., Secretary of State for the Colonies, followed by an Introduction by the Right Honourable Sir Robert Borden, G.C.M.G., M.P., LL.D., Prime Minister of Canada, an Author's Note by Sir Max Aiken, M.P., a Table of Contents and is divided into ten chapters: I - Mobilisation; II - Warfare; III - Neuve Chapelle; IV - Ypres; V - A Wave of Battle; VI - Festubert; VII - Givenchy; VIII - Princess Patricia's Light Infantry; IX - The Prime Minister; X - The Canadian Corps. It concludes with six Appendices (The King's Messages to the Canadians; Canadians in Deptaches; The Prime Minister and the War; Lieut.-General E.A.H. Alderson, C.B., Commanding the Canadian Corps; Honours and Rewards Granted; Statement of Casualties) and nineteen Extracts from Press Opinions of Canada in Flanders. The book contains 272 pages of detailed and descriptive text, along with line drawn maps, printed in black ink, on a thick newsprint paper stock, with a fold-out map of the Ypres area placed between pages 46 and 47, complimented by multiples pages with illustrations and photographs of individuals and war-torn sites inserted at eighteen locations throughout the book and printed in black ink on a white semi-coated paper stock, measuring 135 mm (w) x 198 mm (h) x 40 mm (d). It exhibits extensive wear and soiling on the cover, with reinforcing tape in place along the spine where it butts both the front and back covers, scattered spotting present on a few pages inside, however, most of the text pages along with the illustrations remain unaffected. Good.
Footnote: William Maxwell Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook, PC, ONB (May 25, 1879 - June 9, 1964), generally known as Lord Beaverbrook, was a Canadian-British newspaper publisher and backstage politician who was an influential figure in British media and politics of the first half of the twentieth century. His base of power was the largest circulation newspaper in the world, the Daily Express, which appealed to the conservative working class with intensely patriotic news and editorials. During the Second World War, he played a major role in mobilising industrial resources as Winston Churchill's Minister of Aircraft Production.
