Frank McKelvey Bell
''A Romance of the Halifax Disaster'' (1918) is a rare novella by Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel Frank McKelvey Bell based on the Halifax Explosion of 1917. Bell, after the explosion, had assisted in the medical rescue. His experiences during this time allowed him to write about the physical trauma suffered by Haligonians. Rather than focusing on medical professionals, though, Bell positions his narrative as a romance between a young volunteer and an injured soldier. In the disaster's aftermath, Bell was the chair of the medical relief committee. Background Haligonian publisher Gerald Weir released the small novella which is today relegated to rare book collections and archival holdings; original copies are worth several hundred dollars apiece. Much of the interest surrounding this book likely arises from the rare photographs which appear on every other page, as well as a detailed list of the dead and a fold out map which are included at the end of the novella.
