Summary: "Thirty Canadian V.Cs., 23rd April 1915 to 30th March 1918" is a historical account, compiled by the Canadian War Records Office. This volume honors the extraordinary valor of thirty Canadian soldiers who were awarded the Victoria Cross during World War I. The book likely captures the bravery and significant contributions of these individuals over the course of the war, focusing on events from the early days of conflict up until March 1918. The opening of this work sets the stage by providing a dedication from Lieutenant-General Sir R.E.W. Turner, acknowledging the self-sacrifice and courageous acts of Canadian soldiers in the Great War. It discusses how the Canadian Army surprised the world with its growth and tenacity in battle, especially in notorious offensives like the Second Battle of Ypres. The narrative begins with the story of Lance-Corporal Frederick Fisher, detailing his heroic actions during a gas attack that cost him his life but saved many others, showcasing the themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the essence of military camaraderie that permeate the contributions of the honored Victoria Cross recipients. Overall, the opening establishes a poignant tribute to the legacy of courage and sacrifice in wartime. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
