Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada in the Great World War, Vol. 4: An Authentic Account of the Military History of Canada From the Earliest Days to the Close of the War of the Nations; The Turn of the Tide They had, it is true, taken part with Imperial troops in offensive engagements and had on their own account made many raids into the enemy's lines, but these operations were all of an offensive-defensive character. The Germans during the first two years of the war had such a preponderance of guns, machine guns, trench mortars, and other essential war material, that the Allied armies could do little more than dent their line. To force them from the strong positions they held between the North Sea and the Alps was for the time being impossible. This defensive warfare had tried the citizen soldiers of Canada to the limit, but when, in the late summer of 1916, they moved from the Ypres salient to the Somme area, they had that soldierly bearing and battle confidence that belong only to veterans. Second Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy, St. Eloi, Sanctuary Wood, and Hooge had given the discipline, resourcefulness, courage, and dash that made many of the older battalions admirable shock troops.

Download or read book At the Sharp End Volume One written by Tim Cook and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of Canadians in WWI in forty years, and already hailed as the definitive work on Canadians in the Great War, At the Sharp End covers the harrowing early battles of 1914-16. Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands, died before the generals and soldiers found a way to break the terrible stalemate of the front. Based on eyewitness accounts detailed in the letters of ordinary soldiers, Cook describes the horrible struggle—first to survive in battle—and then to drive the Germans back. At the Sharp End provides both an intimate look at the Canadian men in the trenches and an authoritative account of the slow evolution in tactics, weapons, and advancement. Featuring never-before-published photographs, letters, diaries, and maps, this recounting of the Great War through the soldiers' eyes is moving, engaging, and thoroughly engrossing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada in the Great World War, Vol. 5: An Authentic Account of the Military History of Canada From the Earliest Days to the Close of the War of the Nations Into this solemn country of graves and ruins, the Canadians came as men coming home after trying days. It did not matter that from Givenchy Wood one could look upon the ruins of five Villages. It did not matter that winter was coming with all its ordeals of cold and exposure. They had made this area their own before they went to Passchendaele and they slipped back into their Old positions rejoicing. Start ing at Hill 7 O, the front lines ran south and east to wards Lens, claiming the higher levels and half cir cling the city. They Skirted Cit St. Auguste, which was German, while Cit St. Emile and Cit St. Eliza beth were in Canadian hands. The Green Crassier was German; so was Cit St. Antoine; but Avion was in our hands. Further south, NO Man's Land widened, and from the eastern lpes Of Vimy Ridge the Cana dian line ran well forward, with the enemy in posses sion of Mericourt and Acheville. At Fresnoy, which was in German hands, the lines narrowed again, with the Canadians holding Arleux-en - Gohelle. Our men were practically in the outskirts Of Oppy, where the lines were so close together that in one place only a few feet separated the trenches. Further south, Ga vrelle, in our hands, practically marked the end Of the Canadian front. It was all familiar ground, and all ranks settled down for a comfortable, quiet winter. The phrase, of course, was purely a comparative one. There was little Of comfort or quiet in France at any time.

Download or read book Canada and the Two World Wars written by J. L. Granatstein and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two classic examinations of Canada at war, together in a single volume. Marching to Armageddon: Canadians and the Great War, 1914-1919 and A Nation Forged in Fire: Canadians and the Second World War, 1939-1945 remain classic examinations of Canada's wartime experience. In Canada and the Two World Wars, these two important books are brought together in one volume, featuring a new introduction by the authors, two of the most distinguished historians in Canada. The First World War helped to create a Canadian nation. The war was a catalyst for almost every imaginable change--from skirt lengths and sexual mores to the role of government within Canada and Canada's role within the British Empire. Much more than a military history, Marching to Armageddon evocatively recreates the effects of the war years on ordinary Canadians. All facets of war are brought home through vivid images and incisive text. A Nation Forged in Fire provides an in-depth look at the changes the Second World War brought to Canada. While Canadian soldiers fought and died in foreign lands, women moved into the workforce, industry boomed and the country became a major supplier of food and armaments. For their part, politicians used the country's new clout to demand a voice in international decisions. Old traditions and loyalties were swept aside, and the country would never be the same.
