For most of the Second World War, Holland was under Nazi occupation. Due to its much smaller army, the country was quickly overrun by the Germans in 1940. Canada was deeply involved in the liberation of Holland from Nazi control, as well as during the reconstruction period by providing financial aid and physical resources. This book was intended to commemorate the achievements of the Canadian Army and to strengthen the relationship between the two nations.

Carter of the 7th Battalion CEF wrote to his brother Fred Carter in 1914, from the Valcartier military camp in Quebec, before he died overseas of spinal meningitis on 26 March, 1915.
