(Toronto): The Canadian Bank of Commerce, 1921. 498 pp, 9 7/8" H. **Volume II only.** Deep red cloth boards with blind stamped Greek key borders on front and rear boards, gilt lettering on spine, gilt decoration on spine/front board. B&w illustrations - tissue-covered frontispiece, fold-out map, photographs - all present. "It was originally considered that one volume, containing the 'Letters from the Front' pamphlets issued during the course of the great struggle recently concluded, would suffice as an offical and historical record of the part played therein by the members of the staff of The Canadian Bank of Commerce. Mr. C.L. Foster, the Editor of Volume I, however, conceived the idea of making a more detailed record by the publication of a supplementary biographical volume, and the present Volume II is the result of our labours in this connection. In the compilation of the military records, no pains have been spared to make the work as complete as possible, and exhaustive searches have been made of official documents and archives, in Ottawa, in London and elsewhere. The assistance rendered by the members and former members of staff, and the next-of-kin of those who died on active service, in furnishing particulars, has been of the utmost value." from the Introduction.
