On July 5, 1945, the Canadian army had Private Harold Joseph Pringle shot by a firing squad – and then made every effort to conceal the fact the execution ever took place.

I just finished reading your book and compliment you on the historical information you provide. Pringle also is mentioned in a book I am writing about the US Army Criminal Investigation Division. Great job!!
Just finished “A Keen Soldier”, after the Hamilton Public Library just about shut down my account for having this book out three months overdue.
But it was so painful/ profound, just couldn’t read it any faster.
You really capture something about being in the Canadian Forces, best I’ve read since “Turvey”.
The Globe’s publishing my cartoon take next month.
Got rid of my vehicle, after 40 years of car ownership.
Following policymakers desire to get more people on public transit.
The free Go Transit for Veterans, which started March 1st, a real game changer.
Thanks David! I really appreciate your message and thoughts about A Keen Soldier!
I am looking forward to seeing your take on Harold Pringle in the Globe. That’s terrific news!
