Ouch! Yet another example of @VeteransENG_CA getting historical facts incorrect. Time to hire someone who know's Canadian military history. First tank attack was at Flers-Courcelette 15 September 1916.

My course Sergeant-Major was Queen's Own Rifles and was in the first wave at Juno Beach. Truly tougher than nails. He seemed to hate everyone equally.

A truly remarkable campaign. But among Canada's 45,000 plus casualties, there were thousands of conscripts. Indeed, without these crucial reinforcements, there would not have been a 'Hundred Days' campaign for the Canadian Corps. See https://www.ubcpress.ca/reluctant-warriors

Canada's History@CanadasHistory

The last hundred days of the #FirstWorldWar were critical to ending the war against Germany, but the victories cost Canadians more than 45,000 dead and wounded. http://ow.ly/B3du50CdKVT #CanadaRemembers
