THIS BOOK DESCRIBES THE ORGANIZATION, LISTS THE UNITS AND ILLUSTRATES
THE UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT OF THE FOUR CANADIAN DIVISIONS WHICH EARNED
AN ELITE REPUTATION ON THE WESTERN FRONT IN 1915-18.
Canada's 600,000 troops - of whom more than 66,000 died and nearly
150,000 were wounded - represented an extraordinary contribution to
the British Empire's struggle. On grim battlefields from the Ypres
Salient to the Somme, and from their stunning victory at Vimy Ridge to
the final triumphant 'Hundred Days' advance of autumn 1918, Canada's
soldiers proved themselves to be a remarkable army in their own right,
founding a national tradition.
Featuring illustrations throughout, this volume is ideal for any
enthusiast of World War I or Canadian military history.
