Between 1914-1945 Canada lost forever its very best people. What if left and what leads them is drek.
My great-uncle fought in the 38th Battalion (Ottawa) C.E.F. in WWI and was killed in France two months before the Armistice. He's buried in a British Military Cemetery in France.
As well, over 6,300 Canadian soldiers serving in the First Canadian Army were killed fighting their way across the Sheldt region of Holland, clearing the area of Germans, and opening up crucial supply lines via the port of Antwerp. It was the Canadians that liberated the small village of Schoondijke, Holland where my father had been born in 1904. My father, his two brothers, and my grandparents came to the U.S. in 1913.
My Canadian uncle (Mother's brother) served in the U.S. Army overseas during WWII. He received his American citizenship at Fort Sam Houston, Texas while on his way to the west coast to ship out. My father's youngest brother also served overseas in the U.S. Army in WWII.
WWI....Stupid war. Screw the Brits for pulling us into it, they should have stayed out of it.
