Excited to see my book in print. Thank you @UBCPress for a tremendous design! Each officer pictured here was dismissed or cashiered in WWII. Desertion. Drunkenness. Indecency. Scandalous conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. ubcpress.ca/scandalous-condu…
New articles published in the Spring 2024 issue of Canadian Military History! Read them all here: scholars.wlu.ca/cmh/
On 30 December 1917, a German sub sank HMT Aragon off the coast of Egypt. Canadian officer Lt-Col. C.A. Low described the horror, as I illustrated in a comic here: matthewkbarrett.com/2023/11/…
HMS Attack picked up survivors from HMT Aragon only for it to be sunk as well. Lt-Col. Low survived both ships going down, reporting, “Hundreds of cases of heroism, rescue and narrow escapes were crowded into those minutes.” Part 2 of my comic here: matthewkbarrett.com/2023/11/…
