BUTTONS
OF THE CANADIAN MILITIA, Army, Navy and Air Forces 1900-1990, Eric Smylie,
$35.00 PB 108pp 6 x 9" b/w photos 1-55125-004-7. For collectors and
enthusiasts, this book provides a look into an area of military collecting that
is largely undocumented. Though medals awarded to Canadians and the badges of
the Canadian armed forces have long been collected and valued, the field of
Canadian military button collecting has been long overlooked, and available
books and publications on this subject are virtually non-existent.
Thus, with a view to rectifying this situation, Eric Smylie traces the history
of the military button from the late nineteenth century to the last decade of
the twentieth. Included are buttons from General Service, the Corps, the Mounted
and Foot Regiments Overseas Service Battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary
Force, Naval and Air Services, and the Newfoundland Forces. $35.00

Tools
of the Trade, 128 pages, 158 B&W illustrations, 7x10", Soft Cover. CDN$30.00
This new book examines the difficulties of equipping the Canadan Army
Overseas during the Second World War. From a standing start in which the Army
had little in the way of mechanical transport, no real armour to speak of, a
lack of modern artillery and rifles surplus from the First World War, the
Canadian Army developped into one of the finest fighting forces of the Allies.
Based on four war-time reports, compiled by the Canadian Army Historical
Section under the command of Col C.P. Stacey, this book is an authoritative
overview on the many types of equipment used by the Army. These four reports
have been merged and edited with the result of an incredible readable narrative.
The equipment covered includes Small Arms, Light Weapons, Anti-tank equipment,
Anti-tank Artillery, Medium and Heavy Artillery, Anti-aircraft Artillery,
Self-propelled Artillery, Tanks including Specialty Tanks, Armoured Fighting
Vehicles, Amphibian Vehicles, Scout and Reconnaissance Cars, Mechanical
Transport including Jeeps and Motorcycles.
In addition to the WWII text additional information has been added on
experimental equipment, unusual issues (such as the Centaur) and more. The
128-page text is complemented by 158 high quality illustrations showing just
about every item used. Tools of the Trade can be considered the
"Mother" of the Weapons
of War series of authoritative booklets.

Beyond
the Danger Close: The Korean Experience Revealed This
true story of adventure and heroism during the Korean War focuses on a little
known but pivotal battle waged over two days near the now infamous village
of Kapyong. Here, a courageous battalion of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry held firm, despite wave after wave of charging enemy
troops. These bold young Canadians, many just raw recruits, were
vastly outnumbered, but were never outfought. At D Company one man, whose
heroism was never officially recognized, may have saved the entire battalion. Gray's book takes a hard hitting, controversial, no holds-barred look at the men
and especially their leaders during the months leading up to Kapyong.by
