About this product
Product Information
Merry Hell is the only complete history of the 25th Canadian infantry battalion, which was recruited in the autumn and winter of 1914-15 and served overseas from spring 1915 until spring 1919. Author Robert N Clements, who served in the battalion throughout that period and rose from private to captain, wrote the story many years after the war, based on his personal memories and experiences. As such, his story reflects two unique perspectives on Canadian military history - the remarkably fresh recollections and anecdotes of a veteran, and the outlook of a man eager to share what his generation contributed to the nation's history, character, and identity. Professional military historian Brian Douglas Tennyson buttresses Clements's story with a valuable critical apparatus, including an analytical introduction that contextualizes the history and notes that explain unfamiliar points and people. Merry Hell is a captivating tale for those who enjoy stories of war and battle, and one that will entertain readers with Clements's richly colourful anecdotes and witty poems, none of which have been published before.

Reviews
'I enjoyed reading every page of Merry Hell couldn't put it down, really. Part history and part memoir, it is a singular contribution to our knowledge of the First World War and those who fought it. Anyone who calls himself or herself a First World War historian will read this book with a smile of satisfaction on their face it just rings true and genuine, and is more immediate than existing studies. And for those who haven't read much on the First World War, at least at the battalion history level, this will be a revelation.', 'Merry Hell is an amazing book.... As we approach the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, Merry Hell is an invaluable addition to the literature of that war and Nova Scotia's role in it.', 'I enjoyed reading every page of Merry Hell - couldn't put it down, really.

As we approach the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, Merry Hell is an invaluable addition to the literature of that war and Nova Scotia's role in it.' --John Boileau, The Chronicle Herald, September 14, 2013 'Canadians everywhere, and not just those of us in Nova Scotia, owe a debt of gratitude to Robert Clements for writing this book - and to Brian Tennyson for placing it so resolutely in the public realm. This is a work permitting us to see with searing clarity the vile nature and devastating toll of modern warfare.' --Wilf Cude, The Antigonish Review #180 'This is a useful contribution to our understanding of the experiences of that generation of young Canadians who marched off to war 100 years ago.' --Patrick Brennan, University of Toronto Quarterly vol 84:03:2015 'Merry Hell is a well written book that can be used for casual reading or academic study... It is rare to come across such a book, especially in the study of history.' --Erich N. Lenz, Canadian Military History vol 25:01:2016
