About this book
Crumps, The Plain Story of a Canadian Who Went is a book by Louis Keene. A prefatory note by General Leonard Wood says that Captain Keene has made an interesting contribution to the literature of the present war in his account of service. The note says the account covers the experience of a young officer in the making and on the battle front.
The writer says Canada, with her population of seven and one-half millions, offered 35,000 volunteers the first few weeks, without calling out her militia. The writer says he enlisted with his friend Pat, a six-foot, husky Scotchman, in the First Auto Machine Gun Brigade. The writer describes the “Archies” (anti-aircraft guns) mounted on lorries, which fired about fifty shots at one Taube but didn't register a bull. The writer says they have steel helmets to protect them from spent bullets and splinters.
