with the assistance of the official “war diary” and the proud memory of two years’ service with the 116th battalion c.e.f. in france, the writer has compiled this small book for all ex-members of the battalion, with the hope that they may find somewhere within its pages the reminiscence of days spent together, battles fought, and friendships made; and for the parents, relatives, and friends whose loved ones fell whilst fighting in the ranks of the battalion, as a token of remembrance and sympathy.
