Often overlooked are the triumphs and sacrifices of those who supported these soldiers, and the war effort in general, on the home front.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Frontier of Patriotism\u003c\/em\u003e provides an in-depth look at all aspects of Alberta's involvement in the First World War, reflecting Albertans' experiences both on the battlefield and on the home front. Drawing on national and local archival resources the letters, diaries, and memoirs of individuals who lived through the conflict, and accounts in local newspapers, a wide variety of experiences are explored in depth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor many, the tumultuous years of the First World War represented a time of individual valour and of communities pulling together and sacrificing for a noble cause.
