Good afternoon fellow Royals Past & Present,
Fred Doucette recently published a memoir called Empty Casing: A Soldier’s Memoir of Sarajevo Under Siege. The 256-page book tells the story of Doucette’s battles in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1995, but more importantly, details how he struggled with an operational stress injury when he returned to Canada.
