| Summary | "The Great War As I Saw It" by Frederick George Scott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This memoir offers a personal perspective on the First World War, specifically focusing on the experiences of the author as a chaplain with the First Canadian Division. The book aims to convey both the grandeur and the tragedy of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the war, while providing insights into the camaraderie and challenges faced by those involved. At the start of the book, Scott describes his emotions and thoughts leading up to his decision to volunteer for the war, highlighting the initial excitement mixed with apprehension. He recounts events such as his departure from Quebec, the preparations at Valcartier, and the collective spirit of the Canadian soldiers as they prepare to leave for Europe. His reflections capture the profound sense of duty felt by him and his comrades as they confront the realities of war, setting the tone for a moving narrative that balances personal anecdotes with broader themes of bravery, loss, and the impact of conflict on human lives.
