Review by Esprit de Corps Magazine

"Yorkton's Gunners provides interesting and informative insight into the development of field artillery in Canada and the challenges faced by the Militia since the end of the First World War. For those readers who enjoyed George Blackburn's classic accounts of his experience as an artillery officer in Normandy and beyond, I would recommend this book as a worthy adjunct." (Les Peate, Esprit de Corps Magazine)

CANUCK: Volume I

It is anticipated at this time that an updated and reprinted volume of Canuck: Clothing and Equipping the Canadian Soldier 1939-1945 will be prepared within the coming years. It is likely the new volume will be in softcover in an expanded size, with new photographs and an all-colour format.

In September 2007 the last remaining stock of the now out of print initial volume was liquidated on ebay.
