In February 1915, the Canadian Expeditionary Force arrived with its infantry division in France. The Canadians underwent the fi rst poison gas attack two months later. In 1918, they had such a reputation that they were used as shock troops and took part in all the battles of this year. The subject of this short book is a non-exhaustive study of the Canadian soldier’s equipment and his commitment within the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in France in 1915-18.
