Mark Zuehlke has been hailed by Jack Granatstein as Canada's most popular military historian. Of his twenty books, nine have been works of military history.
For Honour's Sake: The War of 1812 and the Brokering of an Uneasy Peace
won the Canadian Authors Association 2007 Lela Common Award for Canadian History. In 2006,
Holding Juno: Canada's Heroic Defence of the D-Day Beaches, June 7-12, 1944
was awarded the City of Victoria Butler Book Prize. Also a novelist, Zuehlke is known for the acclaimed Elias McCann mystery series, which chronicles the misadventures of a coroner in British Columbia's Tofino.
Hands Like Clouds
garnered a Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Best First Novel award in 2000, and
Sweep Lotus
was a finalist for the Arthur Ellis Best Novel in 2004. Zuehlke lives in Victoria, BC. He can be found on the web at

.

On September 28, 1914, less than two months after Canada's declaration of war against the Axis powers, 16
^th
Battalion shipped out from Quebec aboard
Adania
. This rare but underexposed image, taken from the ship deck, shows members of both the 14
^th
Battalion (in caps) and 16
^th
Battalion (glengarries) looking back toward Quebec.

The dilemma over how to merge four Highland regiments into one is clearly illustrated in this photo taken on the Salisbury Plain in 1915. Although the distinctive tartans are hard to make out, the differences in glengarries are plain to see.
