Les poilus canadiens: Le roman du vingt-deuxième bataillon canadien-français

The work offers a regimental chronicle of the 22nd French-Canadian battalion, following its recruitment in Quebec, training and ceremonial consecration, and subsequent deployment to the Western Front. It describes camp life, preparation for combat, and detailed battlefield episodes, including an assault on a strongly held village undertaken under heavy artillery fire, the capture of numerous prisoners, and significant casualties. Interwoven with tactical narration are reflections on collective memory, duty, and the battalion’s morale, aiming to record both notable engagements and the daily experiences that shaped its wartime identity.
