The Regiment

0/5 ( ratings)

The story of an astonishing band of Canadian soldiers and their part in the Allied victory in Italy, told by Farley Mowat, a legendary Canadian writer and a member of the regiment.

The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was Canada’s most decorated regiment in the Second World War, winning thirty-one battle honours. Famed for their role in the Allied invasion of Sicily and the conquest of Italy, for six years the members of the regiment suffered brutal conditions, fighting bravely in the face of fierce opposition from the enemy, and ultimately triumphing.

In The Regiment , Farley Mowat, famed Canadian fiction writer and regiment member, tells the story of the Hasty Ps, from their recruitment in September 1939 until the end of the war. Mowat was a second lieutenant and platoon leader with the regiment, and writes movingly of the great suffering his fellow soldiers endured, their bravery in battle, and the lasting friendships he forged as a member of the group.

Dundurn is very pleased to be making The Regiment, long out of print, once again available.
