Book Synopsis
Lieutenant Owen William Steele volunteered for the Newfoundland Regiment in late summer 1914. This diary offers an account of the regiment's role in the Gallipoli expedition. It shows how the reality of war transforms individuals, shattering illusions about glory and heroic effort and replacing them with fears of death and wounding far from home.

Trade Review
"Steele's thoughts on the relationship between Canadian and Newfoundland identity are fascinating, and his description of the 'flood' at Gallipoli is one of the best I've read. Facey-Crowther's introductory chapters are excellent." Jonathan F. Vance, Department of History, University of Western Ontario "An informative first hand account of the life of a disciplined, capable, and ambitious officer in the famed Newfoundland Regiment." Carman Miller, author of Painting the Map Red: Canada and the South African War, 1899-1902
