"We Are The Dead" is a unique history of World War I as experienced by the forty-six men, and one woman, whose names are carved into the town of Carleton Place's War Memorial.

The book follows in the footsteps of these veterans from their early lives in the Ottawa Valley town to the events that lead to their deaths.

It provides a fascinating look into the lives of ordinary Canadians who gave their lives and the importance of their sacrifice.

The research into personal and unit histories has been meticulous.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Larry Gray served twenty-four years in the Royal Canadian Air Force as an navigator. He served in Cold War Europe and on United Nations operations. Following military service he was employed as an advocate and adjudicator of veterns' disability pensions.

Always a history buff, during his European tour he visited Vimy Ridge and the muddy trenches of the Great War. The interest never waned. In 1986, he developed and led a veterans' organization tour of Flanders, culminating in their presence on Vimy Ridge on July 26, 50 years to the day of its unveiling.
