The sense of the heroic ordinary Canadian at war is exemplified by powerful first-hand accounts, including George Pearson's description of the last stand of the Princess Pats in the First World War, and by Robert Coffman's gripping account of how he and two of his downed crew survived on an island off the Greenland shore for ten days during the Second World War.
Heroes are recognized, too: in W.W. Murray's stirring tributes to winners of the Victoria Cross and Major George Drew's epic tale of farm boy William Barker, who became one of the deadliest and most heroic fighter pilots of all time. But there are also darker, more difficult stories from the pages of Maclean's: accounts of lost battles, death and destruction.
These splendidly written articles do more than bring the great conflicts of the 20th century alive to modern readers: They remind us of the debt we owe the men and women who fought for us, and the way their valour shaped and ennobled our nation.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
