Bibliographic Essay
Jonathan Vance teaches in the Department of History at the University of Western Ontario. He is the author of Objects of Concern: Canadian Prisoners of War through the Twentieth Century (UBC Press, 1994).
Jonathan Vance … is to be congratulated on his fine achievement in
spelling out how Canadians met this collective need to commemorate
their war-time participation, suffering and death … His success in
pulling together the previous Canadian writings and sources,
including his splendid use of illustrations … is altogether
admirable, excellently researched, finely published.

One attractive feature of this book is the illustrations, more than
80 of them, accompanied by excellent captions.
