Regarding the students enrolled on the University campus in 1914; "It's highly traumatic for that small academic community, because these people were walking beside them a short time before, and now they're in the army, and now they're dead." ~ James Pitsula retired University of Regina History Professor.[[1] |

The Soul of the Soldier Sketches from the Western Battle-Front A Belgian Poem "I came to a halt at the bend of the road; I reached for my ration, and loosened my load; I came to a halt at the bend of the road. "For thee that I loved, I went down to the grave, Pay thou the like forfeit thy Country to save; For thee that I loved, I went down to the grave. "Fulfilled is the sacrifice. Lord, is it well" Be it said--for the dear sake of country he fell. Fulfilled is the sacrifice. Lord, is it well"" by Thomas Tiplady |
