From a Stretcher Handle

Résumé du livre

"The gap between romance and reality was never greater than that experienced by the young men who fought in the Great War, 1914-1918. Frank Walker of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, was a twenty-year-old machinist with a literary bent when he enlisted as a stretcher bearer with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1914. Like other young men, he expected an adventure. Ove the next three years, he charted his journey from innocence to grim reality in both prose and poetry. In the process, he compile a vivid and revealing picture of a war that continues to haunt modern memory." From jacket.
