{"product_id":"books-part-of-life-itself-by-leslie-miller","title":"Part of Life Itself","description":"This extensively annotated wartime diary illuminates the military service of Leslie Howard Miller (1889–1979), a Canadian soldier who served in the First World War. Miller joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) in 1914. In his off-duty hours, he kept this extraordinarily eloquent diary of his training, deployment overseas, service on the Western Front, and periods of leave in the United Kingdom.   Graham Broad, working from a transcription of the diary produced by Miller’s family, includes a thorough introduction and afterword, as well as over 500 notes that situate and explain Miller’s many references to the people, places, and events he encountered.    Unpublished for over a century, written in bracing and engaging prose, and illustrated with Miller’s own drawings and unseen photographs, Part of Life Itself illuminates a bygone world and stands as one of Canada’s most important wartime diaries.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669070602513,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781487522940_e0540509-3aaf-40b3-b91d-02ff50286757.jpg?v=1781505893","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-part-of-life-itself-by-leslie-miller","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
