Synopsis

Private Peat is a memoir written by Harold R. Peat, a Canadian soldier who fought in World War I. The book chronicles Peat's experiences as he enlists in the army, trains for battle, and eventually participates in the fighting on the Western Front. Peat provides vivid descriptions of trench warfare, including the horrors of gas attacks and the constant threat of snipers. He also writes about the camaraderie he shared with his fellow soldiers and the relationships he formed with civilians he encountered during his service. Private Peat is a powerful and moving account of one man's journey through the Great War, and a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of all those who fought in it.1917. Profusely illustrated with photographic reproductions taken at the front. Also with scenes from the photo play of the same name released by Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. Peat, ex-Third Battalion First Canadian Contingent, records his experiences as a private in the great war before he was wounded and became an invalid, homebound with a useless arm.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
