Never a Soldier: A Conscript Serves in the Second World War
$20.00
Daniel Johns writes about his uncle’s experience in the Second World War.
Description
Drafted in August 1942 to serve the Canadian Army at age 35 and a half, Daniel Johns didn’t want to go. In contrast to an impressionable teenage recruit, John’s prior depression era life experience had instilled in him a jaded respect for authority. Described by one captain as a “barracks room lawyer,” Johns remained a minor discipline problem throughout his service. Nevertheless, he subsequently volunteered for transfer to Europe where he did his job. He performed conscientiously and, when necessary, bravely.
