Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Extracts From the War Diary and Official Records of the Second Canadian Divisional Ammunition Column This little book was compiled by Lieut. H. D. Clark from material furnished by the war diary and official records of the D. A. C., supplemented by a few notes made by members of the Unit, in particular, O. R. Sergt. R. F. Logan. Sergeant Logan was Orderly Room Sergeant at Headquarters throughout the war. No one knows more of the history of the Unit or has taken a greater interest in preserving its records, and to him we are indebted for the preparation of this booklet for the printer and for writing the concluding pages. This work is not the full story of our D. A. C.´s part in the war. It lacks the details of the daily life, the experiences of drivers and gunners on many a midnight ride of danger and sometimes death - on the Somme, in front of Vimy, or at Passchendaele; it tells but little of the great work of the D. A. C. during the days of moving warfare in 1918, when the advance of the guns was only made possible by the speed and efficiency of the ammunition supply; but it does tell of our movements, the casualties and awards, the names of the wounded and killed, something about the quantities of ammunition delivered, and the care of horses and mules on active service. There is no account in it of the admirable service rendered by the signallers of the D. A. C. Without establishment or official recognition they maintained a remarkable telephone service in almost every area.
