註釋With over 100 years of time gone by, you would assume that a persons life who to this day still has an impact on others, would have been well researched, and documented. However, in the case of William Booth, growing up in late 1800's Britain, beginning a new adventure in Canada, enlisting and surviving the horrors of World War One, and ultimately meeting his horrible fate in Prince Rupert, British Columbia -- this assumption is far from the truth.The story of William Booth weaves its way through historical evidence to enthrall the reader. No stone is left unturned to follow Booth through time. This book brings a greater understanding of the man behind the name of a school in Prince Rupert, and provides the story behind the 'Sergeant William Booth Award For Valour'.Williams life was short and tragic in so many ways. But also full of adventure, hope, patriotism, and strength of character. This is his story.
