Softcover, entitled " "Overseas": The Lineages and insignia of the Canadian Expeditionary Force 1914-1919", by Charles H. Stewart, a member of the Military HIstorical Society, the Scottish Military Collectors Club and the Company of Military Historians, copyrighted by the author and published by Little and Stewart, printed by Mission Press of Toronto, Ontario in 1970. It begins with a dedication to the "60,000 Soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who gave their lives in The Great War 1914-1918. And to those that served and survived", followed by a Foreword by Major General Christopher Vokes of the Canadian Army (dated August 1971 at Oakville, Ontario), along with an Introduction and an Acknowledgements by the author. The book documents each unit of the Canadian Expeditionary Force that served overseas during the First World War. Each notation states the unit's date of organization, its strength, the date of its disbanding, where they served during the war and as part of what division, their affiliations, their perpetuation, their battle honours, along with any other pertinent information (e.g. uniform details for the pipe band). The various photographic plates complementing the text are interspersed throughout the book, the individual photos usually placed in blocks of twelve, each of which illustrates the unit's cap badge and the collar tab pair, plus the shoulder title where applicable. It concludes with an Index encapsulating a list of Victoria Cross Recipients, a full list of all participating units of the CEF, a list of Honours and Decorations awarded to the Canadian Expeditionary Force, plus a Guide to the Photographic Plates. The book contains 178 pages of text and photographs, with a few handwritten notations in pencil or red ink, printed in black ink, on a white paper stock, the cover on a Tuscan sun yellow paper stock, measuring 40 mm (w) x 216 mm (h) x 18 mm (d). It exhibits edge wear on the cover, light soiling on the edges of the pages and on the cover, however, other than the cover page that has a small piece out of the lower right corner, the pages within remain unaffected. Very fine.
