marc520: "Over the Top with the 25th: Chronicle of Events at Vimy Ridge and Courcellette" by Lieut R. Lewis, M.M. is a historical account documenting the experiences of the 25th Battalion of Nova Scotia during World War I, specifically focusing on the significant battles of Vimy Ridge and Courcellette. Written in the early 20th century, this book provides a firsthand perspective from a soldier who participated in these monumental events, highlighting the camaraderie, courage, and sacrifices of his fellow soldiers. The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with the battalion's formation in 1914 and its eagerness to engage in combat. Lewis shares vivid accounts of their training in England, initial experiences in the trenches, and the harsh realities of warfare, including bombardments, raids, and the camaraderie among soldiers. He recounts battles with gripping detail, including the intense preparation leading up to the Vimy Ridge assault, the chaos of the battlefield, and the ultimate triumph of the 25th Battalion despite suffering heavy casualties. The book serves not only as a record of these events but also as a tribute to the valor of those who fought for their country. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
