Highlanders Without Kilts is a story of love, war, uncommon disaster, and triumph.In 1917, the world was embroiled in a terrible war, the likes of which had never been seen nor imagined.

In December, the city of Halifax was rocked by a devastating accidental explosion that caused 9000 casualties.Highlanders Without Kilts is the story of one Nova Scotia battalion's odyssey, and one family's dreadful loss. From the unspeakable death and destruction came a nation's altered sense of self and a newborn path to its future.
