Once a Patricia

"Once a Patricia" is a gripping personal account about The Second World War. From The Royal Military College, Wartime Training Center, through Sicily and Italy with the Eight Army, and finally to Holland, Sydney Frost brings together a fascinating and absorbing story. He tells it exactly 'as it was' and we see what it all meant - at the time - to this gallant young officer. With sensitivity and perception he records the gamut of emotions through courage to sorrow to triumph that become the reality of a fighting soldier's life. And through it all runs the consuming passion for his Regiment - his home. His autobiography will be invaluable to historians but will interest too, so many Canadians who shared his service in the War and who will relate to his story. It will equally be of value to those of a younger generation who seek wider knowledge of Canada's part in one of the great struggles of our time.
