Captain Harry Crerar, front row, second from the left.

The New Face of War

While not graphically descriptive, Harry Crerar was more than willing to paint a realistic picture of his experiences during the First World War — and as the battery’s censor, he was able to give more information than most. Originally published in October 1995. Read more

Canada’s History Archive featuring The Beaver

Please note: Some items featured in our newsletters and social media will include links to the Canada’s History Archive. The Beaver magazine was founded, and for decades was published, during eras shaped by colonialism. Concepts such as racial, cultural, or gender equality were rarely, if ever, considered by the magazine or its contributors. In earlier issues, readers will find comments and terms now considered to be derogatory. Canada’s History Society cautions readers to explore the archive using historical thinking concepts — not only analyzing the content but asking questions of who shaped the content and why.
