Summary "The 116th Battalion in France" by E. P. S. Allen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work recounts the experiences of the 116th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during World War I, focusing on their formation, training, and battles in France from their deployment in 1916 onwards. The text aims to serve as a remembrance for veterans, their families, and an insight into the struggles and camaraderie of those involved in the Great War. The opening of the book sets the stage with a preface detailing the author's intent to document the history of the battalion, emphasizing the spirit and memories of those who served. It then transitions into an introduction, reflecting on the unique identity of the 116th Battalion amidst the greater Canadian military structure and highlighting its recruitment from Ontario County. As the narrative unfolds, it captures the anticipation and preparations leading up to their deployment to France, including a glimpse into their early experiences at Witley Camp in England and their eventual arrival at Boulogne. The beginning establishes a rich context for the battalion's journey, conveying a sense of urgency and camaraderie that characterizes their wartime experience.
