4.9/5 (9009 ratings)

Description:Spearhead to Canada and the Great War is the story of the dramatic hundred last days of World War I, and especially of the redoubtable Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie and the Canadian Corps, who saw their hardest fighting of the war in this period. Between 8 August and 11 November 1918, 45,830 Canadians were killed, wounded, or went missing - more than one-fifth of the total Canadian losses on the Western Front during the entire conflict. Despite the casualties, Canadian morale remained high because of the Corps' consistent and sometimes spectacular successes along the Hindenburg Line. The victories were due to many excellent leadership and staff support; courageous fighting (of 6l Victoria Crosses won by the Canadian army during the Great War, 28 were awarded in the last hundred days); and the skill of all contingents, particularly the Canadian artillery. Canada came of age in these hundred days. By the end of 1918 there was an unprecedented awareness that Canada was not merely a branch of the British Empire but a strong nation in its own right.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
