Meek's Over the Top

[Bill A]

John Meek's Over the Top is a very useful CEF reference, but is long out of print, and was only available in a limited run initially. There is an on-line version for collectors who would like to access the reference.

Funny this comes up now. I just heard about this book a week ago, while trying to sort out which CEF Battalions never saw service outside Canada. I downloaded he copy Bill refers to.

I would have liked to have a little darker copy a few pages are tough for me to read due to being so light. However, this is an amazing work for sure.

It is a very interesting reference. Meek sorted battalions in several ways, including by brigades, provinces, Scottish, Irish, reserve battalions. He also included some historical details about each infantry battalion.

At one time I was helping the guy who was going to reprint the book. He had secured copy-write permission. What stopped us, or at least "REALLY" slowed us down was collecting the images required
