Abstract
"This compilation of written material relating to the Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force began with a diary my father started when he left Cardigan, P.E.I. on September 16th, 1918. ... The diary itself records my father's observations from September to the following March when it unaccountably ceases. It is only by reading the other reports, letters and diaries that we begin to understand what happened in February 1919 to cause the soldiers to discontinue their diaries. The Canadian Government had quietly decided to withdraw their forces at that time." -- Preface, p. 3.
