*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A Deadly Drive explores the wartime experiences of the
communities in the Miramichi region (Neguac-Richibucto-Boiestown) during the Great War. The experiences of sailors, soldiers and nurses serving overseas, as well as the men and women who remained in Canada, are explained in a chronological format. Individuals'' participation in major battles in France, Belgium and Turkey are examined, as well as the impact on the home front due to rationing, prohibition, conscription, morale, economy, and politics. The devastating effects of the Spanish Influenza pandemic, that may have taken more lives that were lost on the battlefields, is not forgotten. A Deadly Drive tells the story of many individuals swept up in the work of war. All the known Miramichi "war dead" of the Great War are accorded detailed obituaries throughout the book. Details are also provided about individuals, men and women, who were decorated for duty, bravery and/or distinguished conduct in the face of the enemy. The story of Moritz Lifsches is one of tragic family upheaval due to war, while the story of Neil Morrison Jordan is one of courage in the face of the enemy. Lest we Forget.
