'The Anxious Waiting Ones at Home' : Deux familles canadiennes plongées dans le tourment de la Grande Guerre
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the impact of the First World War on the daily lives of two Canadian families through the correspondence left by civilians and soldiers. The letters exchanged between Ruth Antliff and her son William, serving overseas, from February 1916 and March 1919, reflect the daily concerns of mothers and soldiers and shine light on life in wartime Montreal. The letters exchanged by spouses Isabelle and Sidney Brook, of Craigmyle, Alberta, demonstrate the courage of the wives left behind and how the war affected a farm family in the West.
