Description
Description
Hardcover, steel gray cloth cover, insignia of The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment on the front cover and the text on the spine in gold-coloured ink, entitled "The Regiment" (The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment) by Farley Mowat, First Edition of October 1955, published by McClelland and Stewart Limited of Toronto, printed and bound by the T.H. Best Printing Company Limited of Toronto. As stated by J.D. MacFarlane, Executive Editor of the Toronto Telegram on the dust jacket: "...Farley Mowat's "The Regiment" is a new kind of regimental history - at least new to me. Factual it is. Dull it certainly is not. Mowat has taken the bare bones of regimental history and built around them a magnificent documentary of a Canadian regiment, a story that stirs and shakes and sometimes shames the Canadian reader. "The Regiment" is the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, with headquarters in the quiet little Ontario bay town of Picton. As the name implies, the regiment draws its men from to counties of Hastings and Prince Edward and the unit's nickname 'Plough Jockeys' make it obvious that many of them came off the farm to fight. This Is an infantry regiment and this is a story of infantrymen. Mowat was the battalion's intelligence officer and he writes with the authority of a man who was there, with the talent of a fine craftsman as well as soldier, with the affection and sympathy and understanding born of pride in his fellows. Mowat didn't just write from records and memory. He went back, in the quiet aftermath of the wreckage of war, and retraced the footsteps of this regiment of infantry - in Britain, in Sicily, in Italy, in northwest Europe. His masterful handling of the descriptive pieces, of atmosphere bear witness to this research. Don't' forget this is a true story, or at least as true as Mowat can make it. Its characters are real, its situations existed, its action happened. So it's not all glory, not by any means. The book shows its greatest strength, and the unit's greatest strength of character, in survival from defeat. Read it all...lest you forget." It begins with a Foreword by the author dated September 1955, followed by a Table of Contents, and a Prelude (The Years Before). It contains twenty-four chapters: 1 - Phoenix in Uniform; 2 - The Tiger in Their Midst; 3 - "Cook's Tour"; 4 - "The Waiting Years"; 5 - The Hour Strikes; 6 - The Sands of Sicily; 7 - Death Valley; 8 - Montgomery's Mountain Goats; 9 - The Flavour of Defeat; 10 - A Trap Unsprung; 11 - Interlude in the Apennines; 12 - The River of Blood; 13 - Battle of the Bulge; 14 - Winter Front; 15 - The Road to Rome; 16 - The Regiment at Rest; 17 - The Gothic Line; 18 - Gateway to the Plains; 19 - Across the Rubicon; 20 - Betrayal; 21 - Operation Chuckle; 22 - The Battle Without End; 23 - Resurrection; 24 - The End in View. It concludes with an Aftermath (The Years Ahead) and a two page Glossary. The book contains 332 pages of text and line drawn maps, printed in black ink, on an off-white paper stock, measuring 155 mm (w) x 234 mm (h) x 30 mm (d). It exhibits light wear with light tears on the edges of the dust jacket, along with one light smudge on the inside endpaper, however, the text of the book remains pristine. Better than very fine.
