During both conflicts, the servicemen and women recorded their experiences and expressed their feelings in letters, journals, stories, songs and drawings. Also, many of Canada’s best artists were commissioned by the government as official war artists to paint the Canadian forces in action. This is the best of the painting and writing of these two world wars.’ (from front flap)
