Norman McLeod Craig was a nineteen-year-old medical student at Queen's when he attested to the Canadian Expeditionary Force in March 1915, served in Egypt with the Royal Army Medical Corps, and finished the war as a flight commander in the Royal Naval Air Service. In 1932, out of patience with a Fergus town council that had deferred a war memorial for seventeen years, he wrote a war play and staged it himself in June 1933 with a local cast, at least seventy-five percent of gross receipts going to the memorial fund. His grandson, a Hollywood writer and director, prints the text and music here for the first time, with Craig's attestation papers, wartime photographs, the newspaper advertisements, and the program for the 1935 Dawn Parade that finally unveiled the monument.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good-. Reprint. Some bumping and curling of card cover corners; A tight solid book.; Trade PB; B&W Illustrations; 0.41 x 9 x 6 Inches; 149 pages; Fergus, ON-born medical student Norman Craig wasn't yet 20 when he went to Egypt in 1915 with the Royal Army Medical Corps. He soon transferred, however, to the Royal Naval Air Service, finishing the war as a flight commander, leading a squadron of Sopwith Camels stationed in Mudros. By war's end, most of his boyhood friends had been killed. In 1932, after the town council he described as a group of unreasoning pacifists had again put off the construction of a war memorial in Fergus, Craig took matters into his own hands. He wrote 'You're Lucky If You're Killed', and produced it in June, 1933, using a local cast and crew. It took another two years but finally came Craig's Dawn Parade unveiling the monument which represents any small town in Canada. The play itself; one of Canada's first has never been seen again, despite some attempts in the early 1950s to resurrect & publish the work. Craig wanted people to remember the war dead, not his own actions. In this book, Dr. Craig's grandson, a Hollywood-based writer and film director makes public for the first time in 70 years the original text & music of the play, as well as an overview of the events that sparked its creation.…
