Remember

Neuve Chapelle, Ypres, Somme, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele. This is where Canada first came onto the international scene, the fields where our country was forged. Out of a population of just over 7 million, 66,944 were killed and 149,732 were wounded. Never forget their sacrifice.

Canada produced one of the Anglosphere's greatest soldiers, Arthur Currie in the Great War. Canada punched far above its weight and made a huge contribution to victory.

It's amazing the level of sacrifice people were willing to give then, compared to now.
