"Dan Black, respected editor of Legion Magazine, and John Boileau,
a retired army colonel and author of 10 books, tell the compelling
story of Canada's war effort through these underage witnesses....
Perhaps the greatest strength of Old Enough To Fight is that these
stories may resonate deeply with today's youth and help them to
connect with the war of one hundred years ago."-- (04/01/2014)
"Old Enough to Fight gives us a vivid picture of the intolerable
conditions the combatants endured. The marvel is not that so many
were killed or seriously wounded in mind or body, but that some
many survived relatively unscathed. Old Enough to Fight is a
horrifying thought-provoking book, suitable for reading as we
commemorate all who have died in war."-- (11/09/2013)
"Old Enough to Fight grips the imagination by its vivid portrayal
of the youngsters through whose eyes one sees unimaginable
conditions on the Western Front."--Halifax Chronicle-Herald
