SWE Highlight: A History of the 28th (Northwest) Battalion


Hello, the most recent addition to the Saskatchewan War Experience is a comprehensive history of the 28th Battalion, compiled and edited by Major D.G. Scott Calder, and published by the Regina Rifle Regiment.

The "Ross Narrative," from Brigadier-General Alexander Ross, and "The Official War Diary" are the two main sources for the history, though others, including the Momoirs of Lt. Col.J.F.L.Embury, are also included.

At 365 pages, including maps and illustrations, it is a detailed history, beginning with recruitment.
