"This volume has been prepared in order that the people of Canada may have in their hands at as early a date as possible an authentic comprehensive outline of the work of their Army in the War of 1939-1945 against Germany, Italy and Japan and their satellites. In no previous conflict did the military forces of Canada serve in so many lands and in such varied roles as in this Second World War. The Canadian field army was denied large-scale action for a long period, but when its time came it played distinguished parts in two of the three great European campaigns which produced the defeat of Germany: that in Sicily and Italy beginning on 10 July 1943, and that which began with the invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944. Bookplate on first blank leaf, otherwise unmarked with average wear to publisher's red cloth lettered and decorated in gilt. Dust jacket not included. Front hinge tender. A worthy copy of this very informative and proud Canadian chronicle. Enser p.96.; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; Canadian Army - 1939-1945. Good .
