Summary "S.O.S. Stand to!" by Reginald Grant is a military memoir written in the early 20th century during the time of World War I. This work is an account of the author's own experiences as a soldier in the artillery unit of the First Canadian Division, focusing on his three years of service and the harrowing battles of Ypres and beyond. Grant recounts the trials, tribulations, and camaraderie of soldiers in the face of overwhelming adversity and the pivotal roles that artillery plays in warfare. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to the atmosphere of enlistment and the early days of military training, as Grant and his friend Burt Young decide to enlist upon learning that Canada's overseas contingent is seeking volunteers. It captures the excitement and naivety felt by many young men entering the war, highlighting Grant’s first interactions with military authority and the chaotic yet hopeful journey from home to the battlefield. The narrative sets the tone for the book, showcasing both the humorous and tragic realities of military life while foreshadowing the intense combat experiences that will follow as Grant becomes immersed in the grim realities of war.
