Daniel MacMillan never saw the battlefields of World War I. A farmer in the tiny New Brunswick community of Williamsburg, he experienced the Great War entirely from the "home front." As MacMillan's moving wartime diaries reveal, these years took a terrible toll on him, his family, his farm, and his community. A fascinating chronicle of wartime life, Daniel MacMillan expressed the fear, anxiety and uncertainty as well as the sense of duty and fortitude that characterized the war experience on an individual level, making the tragic four-year event much clearer in diary form than in second-hand reports. Editors Bill Parenteau and Stephen Dutcher are editors of Acadiensis and teach history at UNB. Canadian Military History, Maritime History, World War I, Canadian Author.
