WWI Canadian Infantry

"1914 - 1918".
At the outbreak of the Great War Canada was not yet a fully independent state, and was to some extent obliged to follow Britain into the war. However in general there was much enthusiasm for their participation within the country, and by the war’s end around 425,000 Canadian troops had served overseas – a very considerable achievement for a country with a small population. The courage and skill of the Canadian troops was recognised right from the start, and it is fitting that they should be specifically represented in a set such as this.
