This book tells the captivating story of the Canadian Forestry Corps' monumental contribution to the war effort during World War I, and their integral role in the war's ultimate outcome. When Britain was in dire need of timber, this unique battalion of Canadian lumbermen was formed to help ease Britain's shortage. They arrived in 1916, and were immediately put to work, developing the British home timber industry by felling and converting vast tracts of English and Scottish forests into timber for the war effort. Their tireless efforts, technical expertise, and innovative spirit not only provided the Allies with essential resources but also played a vital role in Britain's economic survival and the ultimate victory. The book highlights the Canadians' extraordinary achievements, offering a fresh perspective on their contribution to the war and emphasizing their often-overlooked significance in the Allied victory.
