We would like to thank the following individuals for their help in making this project possible. Whether it was walking over Flemish farmers’ fields with me to find locations mentioned in the letters, digging up magazine articles from 1917, providing information and artifacts for the 50th Battalion, or unearthing family photos and stories, their help has been invaluable.

We in no way profess to be experts in the First World War or in military or social history. For the most part, we have attempted to let the documents speak for themselves. Where we have speculated or guessed, we have done so as a form of thinking out loud. We welcome all civilized comment and input.
