Summary "The Red Watch: With the First Canadian Division in Flanders" by Colonel J.A. Currie, M.P. is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during World War I. The book focuses on the experiences and contributions of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, also known as the "Red Watch," detailing their formation, training, and service in the trenches of Flanders. It aims to honor the brave soldiers who fought in the war while providing a narrative of their experiences—a reflection on both valor and the spirit of camaraderie. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by recounting the historical importance of Highland soldiers in Canada, beginning with the first regiment, the Black Watch, arriving in Halifax in 1757. Currie illustrates their legacy and connects it to the 48th Highlanders, who were mobilized during World War I. He provides a glimpse into the regiment's origins, its kilted dress, and the pride that comes with being a part of such a storied military tradition. This opening portion not only establishes a historical backdrop for the regiment's actions in wartime but underscores the emotional and personal stakes involved asCanada emerges fully engaged in the rescue of the Empire under dire global circumstances.
