By the end of the weekend 2000 Canadians would be dead and 4000 wounded. It was a bloody introduction to the new war. None-the-less the Canadians performed courageously, and fought as no one thought they could. It was a great day for Canada, Boys.

The invasion of Sicily and the battle for Italy were the first full-fledged fighting for the Canadian Army. They performed well, and in December 1943 they would be handed the mantle, to crush the German Line at the Moro River and take Ortona. This was to be their first great test. Against brilliantly designed defensive works the Canadians cracked the Moro River Line, and turned into Ortona, where they would have to beat the Germans in hand-to-hand, and house-to-house fighting. They would have to Mousehole their way to victory, and that's what they did. Ortona was the Canadian Army's first great challenge and its first great victory. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. This volume tells the story of the participation of the Canadians in one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War, The Somme. In August 1916 the Canadians, now 60,000 strong were ordered to take their part in the Somme Offensive. Losses in the Battle had already exceeded 150,000 and more men were needed to feed the guns, now it was the Canadians turn. In a series of brutal assaults, in September-October 1916 they slowly pushed their line forward against uncut wire, massive gunfire and a tenacious German defense. In the end 25,000 Canadians were killed or wounded. It was a sobering experience that brought the Canadians an opportunity to evaluate the failings of the Campaign, and put the Lessons Learned in practice in the next big fight, Vimy Ridge. Asides include: The Odds, Execution by Firing Squad and The Make-Up of an Army. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. Newfoundland was not part of Canada in the Great War. Her soldiers served in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in the British Army. They fought in every major battle, and were often caught in poorly planned attacks and that resulted in terrible casualties. They were Soldiers of Misfortune. In two battles on the Somme in 1916, Beaumont-Hamel and Guedecourt, they were wiped out. Twice in 1917, at Monchy and Masinieres the Regiment was decimated . This volume covers the five battlefields on which the Newfoundland Government erected the unique Caribou Monument; Beaumont-Hamel, Guedecourt, Monchy, Masinieres and Courtrai. This volume includes an historical Overview of the five Battles; five Battlefield Tours; a list of 23 Cemeteries and memorials where the Canadians killed in Battles are commemorated or buried. There is a special section on the planning and building of the classic Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial Park and the two men, Tom Nangle and Rudy Cochius, that made it happen. Profusely illustrated with maps, photos, biographies and drawings. Signed by Author(s).

Initially the Germans inflicted a major defeat on the Canadians, driving them from hard-won trenches overlooking Ypres with mines and flamethrowers. The Canadians lost two Generals and 5 Colonels in one day. Humiliated by their defeat, the Canadians regained their confidence under their new Commander s calm, and thorough planning . Only 11 days after their defeat, they struck back, driving off the Germans and regaining the sacred ground of the Ypres Salient.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. Only two weeks after striking a crushing blow on the German Army at Amiens, the Canadian Corps struck again against one of the most crucial German positions on the Western Front. Four German Lines blocked the Canadian advance towards Cambrai, including the formidable Drocourt-Queant Line, the northern extension of the infamous Hindenburg Line. In one the most superbly coordinated and executed attacks the Canadians broke through each successive line, launching the decisive attack on the D-Q Line when still fighting for their jump-off positions. It was a stunning victory against the very best the Germans had.

Soft cover. Condizione: As New. This Volume covers three of Canada s lesser known battles of the Great War; Festubert and Givenchy in 1915 and Hill 70 in 1917. The battles are very different. Festubert and Givenchy were fought in deplorable conditions, with poor planning and minimal artillery support. The results were predictable; heavy losses for no gain. But many lessons were learned. Hill 70 is a complete contrast. It was fought after the great Vimy victory, when the Canadians were functioning like a well-oiled machine. It was a battle well-planned and well-executed by soldiers confident of their abilities and their efficiency. It was the complete opposite of the 1915 battles. It was also Arthur Currie s first battle as the Commander of the Canadian Corps. This volume includes historical Overviews of each Battle; a Battlefield Tour of 10 Points (it includes Fleurbaix, where the Canadians first arrived on the Western Front); a list of 29 Cemeteries and memorials where the Canadians killed in Battles are commemorated or buried. Profusely illustrated with maps, photos, biographies and drawings. This volume was made into a TV show, Lost Battlefields (Hill 70). The DVD covers the battle like the book, and is literally a walking tour. Signed by Author(s).
