Excerpt from In the Ypres Salient: The Story of a Fortnight"s Canadian Fighting, June 2-16, 1916
Long after the issue of minor engagements in this War are forgotten, and when everybody has ceased to care whether at any moment we gained or lost a hundred yards of ground or a mile of trench, the memory of how the Canadians fought against hopeless odds near Hooge will be remembered, and Canada will be proud and the Empire will be proud of these men. Nor will Canada or the Empire ever forget - what every neutral in the world should be told to-day - how the Germans called these men cowards.
