Excited to see my book in print. Thank you @UBCPress for a tremendous design! Each officer pictured here was dismissed or cashiered in WWII. Desertion. Drunkenness. Indecency. Scandalous conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. https://t.co/KL7QrWG1yt

What a wonderful tribute. Public historian Tim Cook told compelling stories about Canada’s soldiers. #cdnpoli #CAF #CanadianWarMuseum https://t.co/sWawvmGias

Today we are remembering a longtime friend of everyone at LCSC, historian Tim Cook. We remember him as a great scholar but also a generous man who gave back to the profession by paying it forward. https://t.co/18CSCuX8h3

HMS Attack picked up survivors from HMT Aragon only for it to be sunk as well. Lt-Col. Low survived both ships going down, reporting, “Hundreds of cases of heroism, rescue and narrow escapes were crowded into those minutes.” Part 2 of my comic here: https://t.co/2kTvWGf1Lq

On 30 December 1917, a German sub sank HMT Aragon off the coast of Egypt. Canadian officer Lt-Col. C.A. Low described the horror, as I illustrated in a comic here: https://t.co/1Te6QOfFo1
