The book, "Letters from Overseas : Bruce County and the First World War" is a compilation of letters that describe events and experiences of the First World War. Not all of the individuals who wrote the letters came from Bruce County - however, all of the letters were published in local (Bruce County) newspapers.
In the words of the author who compiled this book, "It is the story of Canadian soldiers of the Great War, told in their own words".
A glossary of terms is included in the appendix.
