PREFACE....... Sixty years ago today the guns that thundered round Fort Sumter began the third and greatest modern civil war fought by English-speaking people.

WILLIAM WOOD, Late Colonel commanding 8th Royal Rifles, and Officer-in-charge, Canadian Special Mission Overseas. QUEBEC, April 18, 1921 Less
