This is the story of the average Canadian who volunteered for the Canadian Expeditionary Force told through the lens of one battalion - the 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division. This Highland Regiment fought in the Ypres Salient and in the Somme, at Vimy, Passchendaele, and Amiens. It suffered the first gas attack; its ranks were decimated as it fought at virtually every major battle in the European theatre.

Atrocious narrating, great story.

I have to echo others and start with criticising the narration. It was the worst I have encountered. There was no effort in pronouncing Canadian and German place names and words properly to the point of distraction. I had to mentally rethink some passages to figure out what exactly he was talking about. His varied pronunciations of the German word "zwischen" is criminal. This book deserves to be rerecorded with a new narrator.
The book itself is a well thought out narrative on the 16 Battalion, but I wish I had read it instead of listened to it. I would pass on this audiobook and pick up a paper copy instead.
