About this product

Product Information

In this diary we hear something that is otherwise gone forever: the authentic voice of the First World War soldier, Everyman in khaki. Fully annotated to enhance the nuance of each entry, Barnes' diary takes us into the trenches and the firing lines of the Western Front like no other first-hand Canadian account of that war can.

Cane has produced a very interesting account of one man's war...an excellent additon to Canadian first-hand accounts of the Great War., "The book has the potential to rival The Journal of Private Fraser as the most quoted of diaries by veterans of the CEF ... The reader is left with a profound admiration for someone who endured the eighteen months without breaking down." -- Gordon MacKinnon -- The Journal of the Western Front Association, April 2006, Cane has produced a very interesting account of one man's waran excellent additon to Canadian first-hand accounts of the Great War., The diary entries are annotated and expanded on by military historian Bruce Cane, whose research is thoroughly impressive. He shows great sensitivity in not pretending to omniscience, and achieves a sympathetic but thoroughly scholarly tone in his explication of the often terse diary entries., "The reader is left with a profound admiration for someone who endured the eighteen months without breaking down." -- Gordon MacKinnon in Stand To!: The Journal of the Western Front Association, Number 76, April 2006., In-depth analysis of the nuances and exact wording that Barnes usedmakes this book a fascinating study of the physical and psychological impact of war., Taking a non-traditional approach to this subject, Cane introduces the reader to Deward Barnes (1888-1967), a native of Toronto who volunteered for military service with the CEF on 26 February 1916... ...Cane is to be commended for his unique presentation of Barnes's diary. Rather than simply introduce a self-contained daily memoir with no explanation, he has included annotative text where appropriate to support the entries, making the entire reading a richer and more detailed experience, especially for those readers unfamiliar with the period., …In-depth analysis of the nuances and exact wording that Barnes used…makes this book a fascinating study of the physical and psychological impact of war., The book has the potential to rival The Journal of Private Fraser as the most quoted of diaries by veterans of the CEF ... The reader is left with a profound admiration for someone who endured the eighteen months without breaking down.
