What is Riding Into War: The Memoir of a Horse Transport Driver, 1916-1919 (New Brunswick Military Heritage) about?
On the battlefields of World War I, Jimmie Johnston drove teams of pack horses carrying ammunition and hauling guns to the front lines. Two decades after the war ended, he wrote this memoir of his wartime experiences on a trip back to Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele. In Riding into War, Johnston marvels at how jokes and pranks and the funny side of even the most terrible events have stuck in his mind. Yet, even in the face of horror and suffering, his sense of humour rarely deserted him. James Robert Johnston grew up in New Brunswick and enlisted in 1916, when he was 18. After the war he worked for the railway and as a surveyor. World War I, Canadian Military History, Personal Memoir, Canadian Author. HIS006000, HIS027160, HIS037070
