Day after day brought us tidings of the German advance.

The martial spirits amongst us were always afraid to hear that the war would be over before we got to England.

I, but did not tell the people so, was afraid it wouldn't.

I must confess I did not see in those days how a British force composed of men from farms, factories, offices and universities could get together in time to meet and overthrow the trained legions of Germany.
It was certainly a period of anxious thought and deep foreboding, but I felt that I belonged to a race that has never been conquered.

Above all, right and, therefore, God was on our side.
The scenery around Valcartier is very beautiful.
