Descrição:
Dubbed "the unofficial bard of the CEF" by Jonathan Vance ("Soldier" 27), Will R. Bird (1891-1984) enlisted in 1916 and served as a sniper and then as a rifleman with the 42nd Battalion; he saw fighting at Passchendaele, Amiens, Arras, and Cambrai, and was awarded a Military Medal for bravery for actions at Mons, Belgium, on the last day of the First World War. Criticism on Bird's war fiction, however, is practically non-existent, with glosses by Vance in Death So Noble (1999) and a handful of lines in a 1953 MA thesis by Lillian Hunter Matthews representing the bulk of the scholarship.1 One reason for this lack of critical focus on Bird's war fiction can be attributed to the fact that many of his stories were published in short-lived pulp magazines and official government publications, and so quickly fell out of print.2 A second contributing factor may be the historical favouring of the novel among scholars of Canadian war literature.3 But with the recent reissue of his primary works, such as David Williams' edition of And We Go On (McGill-Queens UP, 2014) as well as my own anthology A Soldier's Place: The War Stories of Will R. Bird (Nimbus, 2018), scholars are invited to reconsider Bird's contributions to Canada's war literature. Canadian War Stories, for instance, was started in 1929, but ceased production in February 1930 as a result of the stock market crash (Vance, Death 178); it had advertised itself as "'an alert Canadian magazine depicting romance, fact and fiction, gallant acts and deeds of war heroes'" (qtd. in Vance, Death 177). What's more, The Legionary's readership was almost exclusively Canadian veterans, and so the stories in this journal were ultimately meant to serve a more experienced and knowledgeable audience than that of War Stories and Canadian War Stories-although as noted above, soldiers were considered a main reading consumer of pulp magazines.
