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. https://t.co/KL7QrWG1yt

Through Their Eyes by Matthew Barrett and Robert Charles Engen
Published in 2022, the graphic novel follows Canadian troops in the summer of 1917 after they have captured Vimy Ridge and the offensive on the Western Front has stalled.

What a wonderful tribute. Public historian Tim Cook told compelling stories about Canada’s soldiers. #cdnpoli #CAF #CanadianWarMuseum https://t.co/sWawvmGias

Today we are remembering a longtime friend of everyone at LCSC, historian Tim Cook. We remember him as a great scholar but also a generous man who gave back to the profession by paying it forward.

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: https://t.co/2kTvWGf1Lq

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: https://t.co/1Te6QOfFo1
