He is the author or co-author of fourteen books and many articles on the Canadian role in the Second World War, including travel guides to the Canadian battlefields.

|Nick Lachance is a student at Wilfrid Laurier University and a Research Assistant at LCMSDS. Many of his photos appear in this guide. Lachance’s primary responsibility was to use modern satellite images from Google Earth and rework them into the 59 historical and tour maps inside the guide.

|Caitlin McWilliams is an MA (History) graduate from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Research Associate at LCMSDS. Drawing on her educational and battlefield touring experience as well as her photography talent, McWilliams scouted, wrote, edited and/or added photographs to parts of every tour section in the guide.
|Matt Symes has worked and taught extensively on the history of war and memory and is co-author of five battlefield guidebooks, including Canadian Battlefields 1915–1918: A Visitor’s Guide. Symes was co-editor (with Geoffrey Hayes and Mike Bechthold) of Canada and the Second World War: Essays in Honour of Terry Copp.

Professor Terry Copp is synonymous with countless highly regarded publications on Canada's involvement in our last century at war. The resources available to him as founder of the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies and the assistance from team members on this project, Matt Symes and Nick Lachance, has produced Canada's latest and possibly most valuable general guide to the Canadian battlefields of the Western Front.... Matt Symes and Nick Lachance have done an admirable job in providing photos of many of these sites as they sit today and the navigation routes through each region are well put together, an obvious sign of painstaking research and attention to detail.... Armed with the knowledge of Canada's first involvement in Flanders to the Last Hundred Days, combined with the assembled modern day information of GPS, Google Maps, suggested regional lodgings, detailed driving directions, website references and contacts, photographs from today and yesterday, Canadian Battlefields 1915–1918 has succeeded in moving the battlefield guide to a standalone level, a remarkable feat in a market saturated with guidebooks for the modern day battlefield explorer. - Glenn Kerr, The Maple Leaf, Autumn 2012, 2012 December
