About this title

Synopsis

Part of Vanwell's Voices of War series, We're Not Dead Yet is a firsthand account of the experiences of Herbert Bryant "Bert" Cooke, a soldier in 75th Canadian Battalion in France and Belgium during the First World War. Cooke's diaries of reveal the day-to-day fear, horror, and fatigue that wore down even the most courageous men. The difficult years between 1915 and 1919 are measured in miles marched by the troops through harsh weather conditions and under enemy fire. Cooke's diaries offer a fresh perspective on the brutality and heroism of war.
