About this book
In The Great War As I Saw It, Frederick George Scott recounts his service as a Canadian army chaplain during the First World War. His account begins in Quebec in 1914, when he volunteers for duty, and follows the First Canadian Division across the war years to 1918. The perspective is that of a clergyman moving among soldiers, with attention to the practical demands of ministry near the fighting.
Scott eats lunch in a shell hole near the ruins of Thélus, while soldiers prepare positions for a cold, snowy night. Burial parties and chaplains attend to those who have fallen, and signallers lay wires across open ground. The scene brings the practical details of army life into the same frame as grief, relief and endurance.
