One of his best books was "And No Birds Sang", the story of his experience fighting with the Hasty Ps of the Canadian Army in Italy in WWII. He landed in Sicily and fought all the way up to Ortona, where he finally succumbed to battle fatigue. It took him a long time to decide to write that book. It was published in 1979. His father's boat, and the boat that he grew up with in Hastings and Patricia Counties in the Bay of Quinte is part of the collection of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, and has been recently restored.
