About the Author: Glenn Iriam
I am a 77 year old male who worked in the telephone and hydro outside plant as a lineman for 35 years. Prior to that I worked as an aircraft mechanic for a number of years. I am married with three children, all married and doing well. I was left with my Father's memoirs of some of his experiences as a sniper, observer, and scout for 3 years, 7 months with the Canadian Army before being wounded and starting the long road home. Dad always said he would like his story told but long after he was gone. Now my pass time is selling my book at Farmer's markets and a through few retailers.
My Father Frank S. Iriam signed up the same day as Germany declared war in 1914.
In Valcartier they announced that a sniper group was about to be formed. Frank signed up immediately and this book describes some of his experiences as a sniper.

Do to some prior military service in Halifax he had been promoted to Sargent in Kenora and he maintained that rank through out the war.
Frank describes the fact that he was able to mentally beat the shell shock he was starting to suffer all on his own.

He spent three years seven months in the front lines being wounded by machine gun fire during the battle of Ameins where the allies chased the Germans out of their trenches never letting them dig another.

After a lengthy recovery period he got back to Kenora, his job as a Railroad Engineer and canoeing his favorite pass time.
