Valour in the Victory Campaign: The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division Gallantry Decorations, 1945

The author has researched the use, acquisition and disposal of every known purchase of long-arms by the Canadian Militia between 1855 and 1955. The dates were chosen as the logical commencement of Canada’s Militia, due in large part to the Militia Act of that year, while the end date brings to a close the general issue and use of the Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle. This 100-year period is unsurpassed for the design and invention of rifles. The book contains 13 appendices, a bibliography and end-notes. This is a ‘must have’ addition for any firearms enthusiasts’ bookshelf.
