The "Great War", 1914
- 1918, was the second overseas conflict in which Canada
played a major part. It is a most vital incident in the
national history of Canada and, and quite apart from its
purely military importance, one with which every
Canadian soldier and citizen certainly ought to be well
acquainted.
The Canadian
Army made its contribution almost entirely on
the western front. The operations of 1915-1918
there have been regarded, with reason, as
generally uninspired and conveying only negative
lessons to the strategist and the tactician. The
battle here described, however, was conducted
with greater skill and imagination than earlier
ones and proved to be the beginning of a series
of victories which led directly to the
Armistice.
