Edward Steere War Hero and Fortune Seeker in War Tale

An otiose reminiscence traces Edward Steere a soldier of fortune and war medal winner born in Los Angeles. He joins the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, fights on Ypres Loos Somme and joins Burns quotes and Scottish camaraderie. The piece blends adventure with wartime ironies and escapes.

Cavalry Hero Relives Narrow Escape Behind Enemy Lines

In 1918 a Canadian cavalry unit fought on the Hindenburg line and endured bombing raids during a moonlit night at Coulincourt Chateau. Steere hid under ground after a three whistle signal, surviving when the sixth bomb failed to drop. The narrative recalls the daring ride toward Le Cateau and the wartime humor that kept spirits high amid danger.
