Borden Battery Posted 14 November , 2008 Share Posted 14 November , 2008 Hello Tartan Terrier You are indeed correct. Here is a partial list from the CEF Study Group List of Recommended Great War websites. Borden Battery Archive Dot Org Website The following books are presented on Archive Dot Org and represent a growing resource of scanned texts in the public domain. A consortium of universities is scanning a wide range of older text-books including the following sample on the Great War. These texts can be down-loaded free of charge. [Recommendation by Bro with URL linkages provided by Chris Wight][CEF Study Group - Apr 2005] http://www.archive.org REGIMENTAL HISTORIES ------------------------------------------------------------ Canada's Hundred Days - With the Canadian Corps from Amiens to Mon, Aug. 8 - Nov. 11, 1918. By J. F. B. Livesay This is a remarkable on-line document - period. I would recommend any student of the Canadian Corps download this pdf. reference document which can also be “key-word” searched for specific units and events. While there are some dated patriotic comments and hyperbole at times, this 1919 document also contains some detailed and important information on the Canadian Corps' military activities during the Last Hundred Days and its interactions with both British and French army units. Information on specific Battalions and heroic individuals is extensive. This book also provides some significant insight into the detailed battle movements of specific units with some remarkable coordinations of attacking battalion movements with artillery which was far more sophisticated than just the “rolling barrage”. There is also [perhaps the first] an outline of modern tank tactics which may pre-date the written theories of both Liddell-Hart and Major Fuller. Highly recommended.
