Princess Pats in Action Across Wartime Service

He survives a rock attack, is wounded through the hip, and spends months in hospital before returning to recruitment in New York. The unit, praised by its members, trains at Levis and arrives in France December 1914, enduring mud, shortages, and brutal frontline conditions as veterans from Canada and Britain converge under Lieutenant Colonel Farquhar and officers linked to Duke of Connaught and Princess Patricia.
