- catalog abstract ""This is the first biography of [Hamilton Gualt] who ... epitomizes the unbreakable bonds which link Britain and Canada. Born into a wealthy Montreal family in 1882, Gault was fortunate in having the means to pursue his own desires, of which a taste for adventure figured prominently and was to take him, as a subaltern in the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles, to fight in the Boer War, and throughout the rest of his life on any number of more or less hazardous expeditions. But the act for which his name will be forever carved in stone was the raising at his own expense on the outbreak of the First World War of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Gault fought with his own regiment throughout the war and was wounded three times. When the war was over, The Patricias became, as they remain today, a proud and distinguished part of Canada's permanent army"--Jacket.".
