A story that spans over a half-century, From Loggers to Foresters tells the remarkable and little-known story of the Newfoundland Overseas Forestry Unit (NOFU), a Second World War civilian group of over 3,000 men sent from the Dominion of Newfoundland to the United Kingdom to cut timber in an age still dependent on wood for wartime needs.

Drawing on hundreds of primary sources, Ursula Kelly examines the conditions of the men’s work lives during the Great Depression and their experiences and treatment overseas during the war, where they worked alongside other wartime forestry units, as well as the reception they met on their return home.
