Frank Mercer and the Newfoundland Rangers: an Anthological Study
"There are many stories connected with the Newfoundland Rangers that have become legendary. The story of Danny Corcoran is a sad one, the story of Dan Bragg's 150 mile trek into the itnerior of Labrador to confirm a plane crasth, and the story of Jack Hogan and Eric Butt who spent 52 days lost in the wilds of Northern Newfoundland, are all legendary. All are part of Newfoundland and Labroadors colourful history. But to my mind, Frank Mercers journey of over 1400 miles south and then north along the Labrador Coast in the winter of 1936 is the most dramatic story of all, and for his efforts he was not even given a medal, although years later medals were given to other Rangers."
