An interesting Great War book in which the father of a serving officer airs his views on the War. He candidly articulates the internal conflict between personal fear for his son's survival and a sense of duty toward the Allied cause. The son was Lieutenant Coningsby Dawson, a well-known Canadian officer, novelist, and war memoirist whose Great War writings were widely read.
