In August of 1914, when the First World War broke out, James W. Johnstone, privileged son of a prominent Nova Scotia family, immediately enlisted in the fledgling Canadian Expeditionary Force. Journeying from Valcartier, Quebec to the plains of southern England with the largest military force to ever cross the Atlantic, he was soon in Belgium, embroiled in some of the fiercest fighting of the war, on the Western front.
