| Summary |
"The First Canadians in France" by F. McKelvey Bell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of Canadian soldiers and medical personnel during World War I, specifically focusing on their arrival and establishment of military hospitals in France. It highlights themes of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the challenges faced by the medical corps in a war zone. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to a diverse group of Canadian soldiers and non-commissioned officers who arrive in France during the war. The opening chapter describes their chaotic assembly and the bond formed under the leadership of their Colonel. The story captures their initial experiences aboard a fleet of ships to England, the excitement of landing on foreign soil, and their journey towards becoming the first Canadians to set foot in France during the war. The humorous interactions between characters and the vivid descriptions of their environment set the stage for a poignant exploration of military life and humanity amidst the harsh realities of war.
