Fighting Parson and the Colonel Gordon in World War I
Major Andrew Gordon, known as Ralph Connor, the Winnipeg Presbyterian minister and author, led pulpit recruiting for Canada’s first liberty loan before joining the front. He served as chaplain with the Little Black Devils in Flanders and fought at Ypres, where Canadian troops repelled poison gas and held the line. The piece contrasts Canadian recruits with British regulars, noting the social gulf and early struggles of Canadian officers amid wartime realities.
