It adds a long-overdue and essential chapter to the Great War history of Newfoundland and Labrador.&lt;br \/&gt;A century has gone by since the NFC was formed in 1917, yet little is known of this small unit of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. Its members were men recruited for woods work in the United Kingdom. Their assignment: to cut and mill Scottish timber to supply wood for the war.&lt;br \/&gt;During the NFC&rsquo;s time overseas, thirty-seven letters were written home by \u00ab\u00a0the Foresters&rsquo; scribe,\u00a0\u00bb Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant John A. Barrett. Published in Newfoundland newspapers, they provided a detailed and articulate account of the NFC&rsquo;s service in Scotland. This book compiles Barrett&rsquo;s letters and examines their historical significance. In addition, it includes letters from other foresters, descriptions of key events that Barrett omitted, and rare photos of the foresters at work. Ursula Kelly complements this material with her own comprehensive account of the formation of the NFC and related issues, and an examination of what the NFC story suggests about the socio-cultural politics of war service and commemoration. &lt;em&gt;The Foresters&rsquo; Scribe&lt;\/em&gt; is an insightful and celebratory account of an overlooked military unit that made an important contribution to the Great War effort.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Foresters&rsquo; Scribe&lt;\/em&gt; is the first comprehensive study of the Newfoundland Forestry Companies (NFC) of the First World War.
