ABOUT ROGER SARTY
Roger Sarty, professor emeritus, Wilfrid Laurier University, was previously deputy director of the
Canadian War Museum, and Senior Historian at the Department of National Defence. He is the author, co-author or editor of more than a dozen books, including the official history of the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War. At the Canadian War Museum he led the team that produced the exhibits for the new building that opened at Vimy Place in Ottawa in 2005. His interest in military history developed during his childhood in Halifax, not least because of the stories then current among older residents and their children about the great explosion of 1917. He was privileged to edit the manuscript of the noted journalist, the late Joseph Scanlon, for publication as Catastrophe: Stories and Lessons from the Halifax Explosion (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2020).
