On August 8, 1918, Allied forces on the Western Front launched a major offensive against the German lines near the town of Amiens, France, following a series of ultimately unsuccessful German attacks in the spring of 1918.
A pivotal offensive, the Battle of Amiens marked the beginning of Canada’s Hundred Days and the last chapter of the First World War. Day 96 – November 11, 1918 At 6:30 a.m., a message reaches Canadian Corps Headquarters that an armistice will be declared at 11:00 a.m. The pursuit continues forward regardless, reaching a line some eight kilometers to the northeast of Mons. The armistice to end the First World War takes effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. |
Thank you
Our country’s great efforts in the Second World War, 1939-1945, involved virtually the whole country whether by serving in the military or by serving on the home front in industry or agriculture. More than one million Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in the military — more than 45,000 gave their lives and another 55,000 were wounded. Three of my grandfathers - yes, I have three, served their country in WW2. Thank you Read the complete editorial in this weeks Issue.
