At the request of the United Kingdom the Canadian Forestry Corps was organized from professional lumbermen drawn from all parts of Canada, to provide the skilled manpower needed to meet civilian and military demands for wood products. This account covers the experiences of the thirty companies of the Canadian Forestry Corps from their mobilization across Canada to their operations throughout the Scottish Highlands and ultimate return to Canada. It examines not only their primary military and economic role, but also their social impact on the local residents
